    Famous '70s TV star Dan Haggerty -- who played Grizzly Adams -- died from cancer early Friday morning ... TMZ has learned.
    Haggerty died after battling cancer for the last few months. Sources close to Dan's family tell us doctors discovered the cancer after he had surgery for back pain.
    Haggerty starred in the 1977 hit TV show "The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams" as the lovable mountain man whose BFF was a grizzly bear. He also guest starred on several TV shows like "CHiPs" and "Charlie's Angels."
    Haggerty was getting treatment in a hospital until recently when doctors told him the end was near and his son told close friends and family to come visit over the last few days before he passed.
    Bunny Ranch owner and friend of Haggertys Dennis Hof tells TMZ, "Grizzly Adams was my friend for 20 years, the Bunnys loved him, he loved to drink with the Bunnys and told amazing jokes."
    Dan was 74.

    Very sad to hear the news of Sir Terry's passing. His Radio 2 Breakfast show was just the tonic to wake up to each morning, who can forget his send ups of Dallas and Dysentery. His hand over's to Jimmy Young and in later times to Ken Bruce were so funny and legendary. More recently he had a nice charming Sunday Morning show on Radio 2.

    Then there was Eurovision, the only reason to watch the ridiculous 10 hour marathon was because of Sir Tel's witty commentary, much to the annoyance of other countries. Terry was the best presenter of Blankety Blank (everybody wanted a Blankety Blank cheque book and pen), his thrice weekly Chat shows were legendary in the mid 80's and early 90's (taking over from Parky who has misjudged leaving the BBC for TV-AM,) Points of View and perhaps Terry's biggest triumph and legacy will be the charity Children In Need.

    Heaven will be a witty, funnier place now. Here's to our favourite adopted gentle Irishman. RIP Sir Terry.

    Paul Daniels

    Paul Daniels, aged 77, has been diagnosed with an 'incurable brain tumour', his family has confirmed in a statement released on Saturday (February 20).

    The statement released by Daniels' publicist read: "We can confirm that one of our greatest magicians and entertainers of all times, Paul Daniels, has sadly been diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour.

    "On behalf of Paul, Debbie and their families, we thank you for your kind concerns and support at this sad time and ask that their privacy continues to be respected. There will be no further comments at this time."

    Daniels is married to fellow entertainer Debbie McGee, television, radio and stage performer who has acted as Daniels' assistant in his shows.

    McGee shared the sad news with an update on her Twitter page, sharing a link to the statement on Paul Daniels' website with the accompanying message: "With great sadness."

    Daniels is best known as the host of The Paul Daniels Magic Show on BBC One, which ran for 25 years from 1979 until 1994.

    The entertainer also starred in Strictly Come Dancing's eighth series in 2010 where he and partner Ola Jordan become the second couple to be voted off.


    Shame

    Very sad news. He is such a nice man. He's due to appear at our theatre on 25th March. This would have been his third visit in three years. He and Debbie are real pleasures to work with. They are both very friendly and "muck in", no demands and putting on airs as "star performers" like we get with some artistes. Very down to earth and also very appreciative of everyone at the theatre and goes out of his way to thank everyone.

    Also, of course, such a consumate performer and a truly great magician. He played an enormous part in keeping magic alive, both in the theatre and on television.

    Yes, very sad news.
