Thompson’s ‘final’ note to wife published

ROLLING Stone, the magazine that was home for years to writer Hunter S Thompson, will publish a note written by the gonzo journalist days before he committed suicide in February.

Douglas Brinkley, the presidential historian who is also Thompson’s official biographer, writes that a February 16 note may be Thompson’s final written words.

It reads: “No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun - for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax - This won’t hurt.”
