Flamboyant former Formula One team owner Eddie Jordan has died aged 76 after battling an "aggressive form of prostate cancer", his family announced on Thursday.

 

The Irishman revealed in December he was suffering with bladder and prostate cancer, which had spread to his spine and pelvis.

"It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Eddie Jordan OBE, the ex-Formula 1 team owner, TV pundit and entrepreneur," his family said in a statement.

And guys, get that prostate checked, it's not called the "silent-killer" for nothing!!!

Exit at 76, I'd take it.

 

R.I.P though.
