Con was my idol, I was born 1953. I just loved that man growing up. RIP CON, thanks for the wonderful memories.

[@BetweenTheLakes]

Thanks for watching and for your lovely comment. Best wishes Mike

[@Brockington174]

I Believe was my favourite song you sing it better than anyone in the world. Saw him live it was a great show

[@BetweenTheLakes]

Thanks for your kind words, I’m sure Con and Dec would have loved your comment…Best wishes, Mike.

[@benjijack22]

R.I.P Con much missed.

[@MikeWalkerCamera]

He was a true gentleman and a great singer/musician. I'm sure he will be very sadly missed....

[@warringtonuk8699]

I was born in 1959. I remember standing on my mum and dad’s dining room table singing I Believe to my mum’s friend. Con was my hero. Happy memories

Phil Solomon's wife Dorothy is currently getting trashed in a play about Lena Zavaroni who worked with these guys. It will tour in 2023. Dorothy is painted as cash hungry.

Thanks for watching and commenting

[@fireangel205]

who the heck is that interviewer? Personality of a wet slab of stone!! The lads Con n Dec brilliant as they always are, oozing charm personality. Unlike the rubbish interviewer

[@MikeWalkerCamera]

Hi Julie, Sorry you didn't like Richards presentation, was it something he said?

[@fireangel205]

@@MikeWalkerCamera not what he said but his persona. He looked like he was bored and didnt like who he was interviewing. No get up n go energy. His facial expressions when speaking to the smiling Con were dull. The man looks like he gas no experience whatsoever on camera.

[@marleneanderson9501]

So the other guy that sang with them, he was'nt their brother?

[@ForestDi1]

@@marleneanderson9501 No he wasn't.

[@Grandpa_Boxer]

Exactly!!! Light up a room by walking out of it!!

[@fortuner123]

Well, congratulations. They still have zero character. Such an awful trio.

[@MikeWalkerCamera]

A very disrespectful and rude comment about a highly successful trio with a string of number 1 records in a time before social media and "cowardly keyboard Warriors":
