AA Gill: My brother told me he was going to disappear

AA Gill, the writer and critic, has spoken about the time his younger brother told him he was going to disappear.

In an interview about his memoir Pour Me A Life, AA Gill said of his brother Nick, "He just came to me one day and said I'm, I'm going to disappear. I said, 'well don't, you know, give us a ring, let us know where you are' and I gave him a couple of quid and a coat and that was the last anyone, any of us ever heard of him".

AA Gill told 麻豆社 Radio 5 live's Afternoon Edition: "You know my Dad died not knowing what had happened to one of his children. My Mum still talks about him and I still, I still think what he's doing now? [...] It's a mixture of missing him and being furious with him".
