Monty Python, which aired from 1969 to 1974, was loved by millions of viewers who adored the British comedy group, known for having ridiculous humour and satirical genius. The troupe was made up of Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Sir Michael Palin. Some of the cast went on to star in sitcoms and movies, while Sir Michael travelled the globe for his award-winning series, Around the World in 80 Days.
While the actors' aim was to make their audience laugh and offer them a form of escapism from the real world, the cast has been plagued by real-life tragedies and misfortunes. Here, Express.co.uk takes a look at the heartache that has surrounded the show.
Terry Jones’ Battle with Dementia
Terry Jones, who was the creative force behind many of the surreal sketches in Monty Python, was diagnosed with Dementia in 2015. He suffered from Frontotemporal dementia, a rare form of the illness, which affects speech and personality. After battling with the disease for five years, he sadly died aged 77. In his final years, he was unable to speak, and his death left a huge hole in the Monty Python community.

Michael Palin's end-of-life confession
Monty Python star Michael Palin made a tragic admission following the death of his beloved wife two years ago. He told Daily Mail his wife, Helen Gibbins, was in a lot of pain towards the end of her life.
When questioned if this made him want a quick death for himself, he admitted: "In some ways. But at the same time, she had time to see the grandchildren grow up, which she treasured."
The pair had been together since they were studying at university in a relationship which lasted almost 60 years.
