Dang

 

I remember getting lifts to work with a colleague of mine many years ago, before I could drive, and for a period he had a Lily Savage tape on repeat in his car. We always used to crack up laughing on the way to or from what was invariably a miserable day at work.

 

He will he missed.

[Koldov]

Obviously feel sad for his family and friends, but the work he did promoting Battersea dogs and cats home will be sorely missed by many.

He will be missed as one of British TVs great personalities.

 

Is it me of does it feel like more people are dying out of the blue? maybe its just getting more media coverage but it seems of late quite a few celebrities has passed away unexpectedly.

 

Lance Reddick was only 60 and he passed away the other day.

I am not a celebrity person, but found him very entertaining. He was funny, genuine & kind. He will be missed.

Very sad news I saw him live in Northampton many years ago as Lily savage and was one of the funniest shows I've seen.

So sad and i must admit very surprised, he always looked good to me.

As a big dog lover what he did for the animals was really amazing.

 

Such a loss.

Incredibly sad news for a legend who brought Drag to mainstream TV without needing to do a US Reality Show, he also did so much work for Hiv / Aids in the 80s,a famous line is when the Royal Vauxhall Tavern was raided by Police in rubber gloves he quipped oh look we've got help to do the washing up!

 

I know a number of the Drag Queens I know spoke highly of him and some have worked with him and no one ever has anything bad to say speaks volumes a true friend for all human and animal [emoji22][emoji3590][emoji304]
