Evel Knievel Dies at 69
By MITCH STACY – 44 minutes ago

CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — Evel Knievel, the hard-living motorcycle daredevil whose exploits made him an international icon in the 1970s, died Friday. He was 69.

Knievel's death was confirmed by his granddaughter, Krysten Knievel. He had been in failing health for years, suffering from diabetes and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, an incurable condition that scarred his lungs.

Knievel had undergone a liver transplant in 1999 after nearly dying of hepatitis C, likely contracted through a blood transfusion after one of his bone-shattering spills.

He had just buried the hatchet in his feud with Kanye West also.

That's so sad, but at least he had a blast while he was alive.

I remember going to the drive-in with my folks and seeing the movie starring George Hamilton.
