I am sad to report the death of Jerry Nelson.

A true magician in every sense of the word, who started off his carrer working with american puppet legend, Bill Baird.

His work with Jim Henson, has i can assure you, touched each and every one of you reading this.

At Christmas, you will be singing along to him.. as the ghost of Christmas Present in a Muppet Christmas Carol.
