No age but with the amount of heart issues he had you always had the impression it was only a matter of time. :(

I was once walking through a deserted motorway services in the early hours with my wife when she elbowed me in the ribs to draw my attention to Paul O'Grady walking towards us.

I've got more.

I was once walking past the Ritz in London with my wife when she elbowed me in the ribs to draw my attention to Ben Fogle walking towards us.

My wife would be better as I don't notice people. My ribs have also paid the price for Jason Orange and "Tracy Barlow".

From Popbitch yesterday:
A lot of the tributes to Paul O'Grady this week have made much of his trailblazing work as a drag artist, his dedication to the LGBT community, his love for animals and his intergenerational appeal – but we wouldn't be doing our job if we didn't point out that he was also one of the great lash hounds of his era. Possibly of all time.

To give you a top-tier testimonial: Paul was once introduced to Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones (through their mutual friend, Cilla Black). To our knowledge, there is no written record of the carnage that ensued but Paul put the band through their paces to such an extent that Mick Jagger has since said that the Rolling Stones have just three things they need to be kept away from...

"Drugs, booze and Lily Savage."
