The Sunday Times and Sun columnist Rod Liddle has died aged 66 after a short illness, News UK said. He died at the James Cook University hospital in Middlesbrough on Sunday evening. Liddle’s children paid tribute to their father, who was their guide “on how to live an extraordinary life”. In a statement issued by News UK, his children Wilder, Tyler and Emmy said: “We’re all very saddened and shocked at the sudden passing of our wonderful father.
He raised us much as you might imagine, to be inquisitive, brave and always humorous. “Even in hospital in the last few weeks, he consistently held the room and never let the awful situation show. “He has left a legacy that we are all incredibly proud of, he will always be our guide on how to live an extraordinary life.” Rebekah Brooks, CEO of News UK, said: “Everyone at News UK is deeply shocked and saddened to learn of the sudden death of Rod Liddle.
Rod was an inimitable journalistic force – brilliant, provocative and immensely talented – whose sharp wit and uncompromising voice graced our pages and airwaves for decades. “Whether writing for the Sunday Times and the Sun or broadcasting on Times Radio, he challenged conventional thinking and left an indelible mark on British journalism. “Rod will be greatly missed by all his friends and colleagues at News, as well as by his many readers, listeners and viewers.
