OMG, how dare people not worship the ground someone walked on I've never met because they died. It was obvious this guy was going to die young. So it's not really a shocker. He's also a comedian so like with them all people are going to like him and others won't. Some haven't even heard of him...but all of those people should say nice things huh?
Not sure how he's doing lately but at least Gabriel seems to be losing a lot of weight between his last special and the one before that.
