He had a stroke years ago but came back to continue working.....in a wheelchair if memory serves me right..... I recall seeing him in a show about seaside resorts a couple of years back and he performed in a b&b for the holiday makers

Yeah that’s what I remember. When I was a kid he would be doing the end of the pier cabaret shows at the uk holiday resorts. Can’t believe he was only 66 I was expecting 76
