Fact #53601
When:
Short story:
Pablo Picasso, perhaps
the most influential artist of the 20th century, dies of a heart
attack in Mougins, France, Europe, while he and his wife Jacqueline
are entertaining friends for dinner. His final words are "Drink to
me, drink to my health, you know I can't drink any more." which
will, later the same year, inspire the song Picasso's Last Words by Paul McCartney And Wings. Another celebrated - although somewhat fanciful - song about Picasso is Pablo Picasso by Jonathan Richman And The Modern Lovers.
