In the same book he lamented Appleton's "premature death."

After Appleton's name was mentioned during an ABC talk, James learnt that he was, in fact, still alive and rang to apologise.

"I was happy to forgive him," Appleton said.

"After all, not everybody gets to read his own obituary, and a glowing one at that."
