Kris Kristofferson has died, aged 88. In 1987, he appeared on Wogan alongside Johnny Cash and covered everything from being a Rhodes scholar to landing a helicopter on Cash's lawn, while also treating us to a few bars of one of his biggest hits.

I have always loved this extraordinarily modern painting from 1670.
