THE ODD COUPLE! KANYE WEST AND EVEL KNIEVEL

ROLLING STONES REPORTED EARLIER LAST WEEK -
Kanye West and Evel Knievel resolved their disagreement over West's "Touch the Sky" video (in which West played a stuntman named Kanyievel). "We settled the lawsuit amicably," Knievel told the press, adding that West was "a wonderful guy and quite a gentlment." Sadly, Robert Craig "Evel" Knievel died just days later at age sixty-nine from unknown causes.

EVEL KNIEVEL. HE DEAD....

Evel Knievel, the red-white-and-blue-spangled motorcycle daredevil whose jumps over crazy obstacles including Greyhound
buses, live sharks and Idaho’s Snake River Canyon 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 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 also suffered two strokes in recent years.
