I have just read, with sadness, the article about the passing of Frans Baldacchino, Il-Budaj.

Although I have seen Frans perform a few times, I met him personally last year, in Birkirkara. Malta has lost another bright shining star. I am proud to have met him. I would like to take this opportunity to propose a walk-of-fame, to be started on the sidewalk in front of the Manoel Theatre in Valletta and perhaps continuing in front of the President's Palace. What a tribute to Maltese (shining) stars like Joseph Calleia, Oreste Kircop, Frans Baldachino, the opera stars Joseph Calleja and Miriam Gauci, and many more!

My deepest sympathies go to Mr Baldacchino's family.
