Comedian Tony Knight Tragically Killed by Falling Tree Limb at French Festival

Beloved comedian Tony Knight, 54, died in a tragic accident last month while attending the Rock & Cars music festival in Lavaur, France. A massive tree limb fell suddenly, striking Tony and several others. He was the only one fatally injured.

Known for his charm, humor, and deep love for animals, Tony was in excellent health and preparing for a UK comedy tour. He was also a renowned “dog listener,” teaching people worldwide how to better understand their pets.

Tony had lived with his longtime partner, Hayley Wright, on her family farm in France for the past four years. They had been together for nearly 15 years. Hayley has launched a GoFundMe to help with funeral and medical costs, which has already raised over $8,000.

Fans and friends around the world are mourning the loss, remembering Tony not just for his comedy, but for the joy, kindness, and compassion he brought to others. His ashes may be scattered in France, a country he had come to call home.
