Sir Billy Connolly, at 81, has joyfully declared he's 'not dead or broken' while enjoying retirement in the Florida Keys, engaging in drawing and fishing. In his memoir, 'The Accidental Artist', he reflects on his tumultuous past, including a challenging childhood, battles with alcoholism, and a perilous career as a welder. Connolly candidly shares his diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and prostate cancer, revealing that he feels fortunate to have survived, especially given the health risks associated with his former occupation. He recalls a serious accident where he fell 40 feet into the Clyde, leading to a broken ankle, while also highlighting the ignorance of past workplace hazards like asbestos. Despite his health challenges, Connolly maintains a positive outlook, stating, 'I'm a lucky bugger. I survived a lot of s**t - much of it brought on by myself.' He has also embraced a new passion for art, which he discovered during downtime in a Montreal hotel.
