BILLY Connolly had viewers in tears as he reflected on his life “slipping away” in his latest documentary.
Billy, 76, appeared in the second part of his BBC series Made In Scotland tonight and admitted he’s now “near the end” of his life.
The funnyman was dealt a devastating blow when he was diagnosed with both prostate cancer and Parkinson’s on the same day in 2013.
In a clip filmed last year, Billy said: “There is no denying it, I am 75, I have got Parkinson’s and I am at the wrong end of the telescope of life. I am at the point where the yesteryears mean more than the yesterdays.
“Because it is back there in my childhood and youth when I go to all those things that made me that live keenest in my memory now.”
Later in the documentary he added: “My life, it’s slipping away and I can feel it and I should.
“I’m 75, I’m near the end. I’m a damn sight nearer the end than I am the beginning.
“But it doesn’t frighten me, it’s an adventure and it is quite interesting to see myself slipping away.”
Viewers were in tears at Billy’s trip down memory lane, and shared their sadness at his health problems.
One wrote on Twitter: “Billy Connolly just breaks my heart. True definition of legend.”
Another added: “Billy Connolly: Made in Scotland, in absolute tears. He is the true meaning of a legend!”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
