How sad!

David Beckham's grandfather Joseph West has passed away after battling lung cancer. West reportedly spent his last days at home with family after being released from the hospice.

But poor David was in South Africa helping England's 2018 World Cup bid and the news has hit the athlete hard. A source says:

"He was very close to his grandad who was immensely proud of everything David had achieved. Joseph's death will come as a huge blow to him."

Hopefully he can get back to his family soon and they can help each other through this difficult time.

Our thoughts are with you, David!

      I agree, losing a grandparent at any age is so hard. Condolences to Mr. Beckham and his family.

      The fake look of concern on his face every time his picture is taken is really getting old.



    28. 28

      So there you have it - Football is more important to David Beckham - Are they really telling us that the World Cup bid for 2018 would have failed if he wasn't there - come on ?
