This is for Richard
Benefit gig planned in Pryor's honour
Richard Pryor’s widow Jennifer has announced plans for a huge memorial benefit gig for her husband next month.
His family will be giving the comedian a private send-off this weekend – but it planning a more spectacular goodbye later.
She said: ‘We're having private family services this weekend and then mid-January I'm gonna plan a big benefit, big memorial for Richard and just celebrate him.
‘The shock will be over [by then] so people can get up there, all the comics, a lot of people from the entertainment industry, and celebrate him in the way that he would have wanted.
‘We'll have some drinks and toast the man in charge.’Published: 14 Dec 2005
