'I think about him often' Bruce Forsyth foresaw brother's plane crash in 'horrible vision'

Bruce Forsyth has opened up about the premonition he had about his brother's death as a teen

BRUCE FORSYTH has discussed the moment he had a premonition about the death of his older brother John, who was an RAF pilot in World War Two.

 

The veteran entertainer has documented the "horrible vision" in his new autobiography Strictly Bruce: Stories Of My Life, which is released next week.

The 87-year-old takes fans back to his early days in north London in the book, before going on to talk about his astonishing 75-year career in showbusiness.

 

In an exert from the book, Bruce reveals how he foresaw his sibling's fatal plane crash, a tragic day that he will "never forget".

After falling heavily and hurting his hand, he said, as he drifted in and out of consciousness, that he had a "strange and unpleasant dream".

Writing about what he saw, Bruce stated: "I’m plummeting downwards, out of control, at an acute angle. I stagger towards the open door of the aircraft as the dark water rushes towards me. I jump…

"What makes it particularly disturbing, however, is that I’ve never been in an aeroplane," the MailOnline reported.

The following day the Forsyth family found out that John was missing. His body was never found after being involved in a plane collision during training in Scotland.
