Monty Python’s Terry Jones Reveals Dementia Diagnosis
Whenever Terry Jones dressed up as a woman for a Python sketch, I always laughed out loud. This, however, is not funny.
Jones, who is now 74, has announced that he’s been diagnosed with a “severe” form of dementia. His aphasia–the inability to speak–has progressed to the point where he is no longer to give interviews. In fact, he’s having trouble communicating about anything.
That was fast. Wasn’t it just two summers ago that Python had that triumphant stand at the O2 Arena in London?
