Adam Faith’s Cause of Death Was Tragic, His Wife Was Furious

[@johnc2977]

Yes I was a faith follower, we went to see him at the castaways in Bradford street Birmingham. For some reason we were sitting on the stairs between the casino and the entertainment area. You can imagine our surprise when Adam was coming down the stairs alone decided to sit down with us for a chat. After chatting for a while he said do you fancy a game of cards. We were beside ourselves, going into the dressing rooms we were surprised to see Peter Noone of Herman’s hermits and I think Mike berry was there also. We stayed for about half an hour playing cards and were amazed that they played for pennies, no big stakes. Very enjoyable. This was somewhere between 1964/5 can’t remember exactly.

That's a fantastic anecdote and thank you for sharing 😀

[@Stipperstone]

How well I remember Adam Faith from my teen years in the 'sixties. As soon as he released a new song we would rush down to the record store to put the '45 on to the turntable. Thanks for being a part of our lives, Adam.

I can understand why his wife was furious. It must be horrible to loose all that’s important to you and also learn that you’re partner was unfaithful 😢

[@Rustymouse]

Yes , shocked and hurt , then anger, Trust and love gone.

[@johngodfrey.766]

Yes, he said that nobody wants to hear my old hits now, but someone told him we all do as they bring back such great memories to many of us, that you owe it to us all to sing them now and then. He came from that time of Cliff Richard, Billy Fury, Marty Wilde and many more that were home grown and were our answer to Pat Boone, Elvis and others from the US.

[@dawnefoulds1271]

Yes like him very much a big fan . And 2 a lot more singers who was about at the same time. 👍

[@angelakeane4987]

My husband and I watched him in the tv series love hurts with Zoe Wanamaker loved it. My son is actually named Adam after him we couldn’t think of a name then my husband saw him in London in 1994 and when he told me we both agreed that’s what we will call him. Heart goes out to he’s wife x

[@sallydear3757]

The same goes for my son.

[@wendygrace2966]

My son born in 1993 is named Adam because my husband liked his music and his name.

[@angelajones8924]

I met Adam at the playhouse and I kissed him on his cheek. He was George's I miss him terribly. May he rest in peace.

[@veronicahill3359]

I met him in a car park lift going up onto a third floor he spoke and smiled ,I saw him just after driving down in a Jaguar , this was years after he survived a car crash he was a real star my elder sisters idol 🤩

[@lesleygilbert1945]

I was a member of the Adam Faith fan club and still have my membership card, records and autograph. I met him 3 times in the late 50's - twice when he came to my home town Hull on his tours. I'm shocked to hear about his affair and the impact on his loyal wife. Thanks for sharing these memoirs and some unknown facts.

[@PaulGarwood]

I also was a member and got to meet him 3 times

[@ValTwineDeaner]

I'm 64 so was only a child at the height of Adam's career, but even then, I fancied him like mad. I loved the series "Budgie". I loved his music too, and my sister often plays it on her radio show, "Angel Radio" in Havant, Portsmouth, UK. They play music up to 1969. It's very sad that he died at only 62, and very sad for his wife.

Fun stuff, thanks for sharing your life story! What other types of video would you like to see?

[@wendygrace2966]

I saw him play the lead role in Alfie at the Nottingham theatre Royal,he was so good..My husband named our son Adam and I think it was because he was a fan of his music.I remember his financial column in the Daily Mail and he was great with Zoe Wanamaker in Love Hurts.Still missed today 😢but it’s great that I can see him on the Talking Pictures tv channel in Budgie,so handsome and he played the cheeky chappie to the full .He just had to smile at the girls.

Very well done history of a very recognisable and great singer and actor. Loved Adam as singer but also as an actor, very versatile and appreciated by so many and still a part of rock history. RIP Adam.

[@deepressland7779]

I met Adam Faith more than 25 years ago in a Corporate setting - it would surprise many of his followers to know how/why. He wanted to invest in a very well known burger chain! He was such a handsome, down to earth and lovely guy. Although, much slimmer and shorter than I was expecting him to be. He never was granted a franchise as it was a Owner/Operator enterprise and I imagine that he never envisioned himself flipping burgers, LOL!

[@pamelagregson6449]

Yes I was a fan of Adam faith, and also liked Leo sayer.what bothered me was he wasn't on TV that many times between 1970and 1976.i had to see him at the cinema in stardust .

[@philipbrougham6360]

Well except for"budgie "which was on for a few years ,,,Then l think he became manager or producer for a number of singers including Leo sayer .

[@jas20per]

Other than his music the one thing that is always in my memory is that very short sketch between Adam and Freddy Star both being dressed the same. Just a few short minutes of talent from each.

[@virginialindahl87]

Not his music...he starred in Love Hurts and was remarkable ! So sad ..he had everything to live for. What about his daughter and wife? How are they doing ?

[@user-xy7xi6el5x]

I met him in 2is coffee bar in London in late 1950s when anyone could get up and sing a song or too - our favourite hangout several nights every week!

[@johngodfrey.766]

No he isn’t remembered today as a trendsetter but he is loved by my age group, we remember his great hits, I asked members in all three choirs I belong too if they remember him or his songs and every one I asked remember him, I saw him at the NME awards singing at Wembley Arena London. Also I think I’m correct in saying he was the first singer to be arranged and directed by the great John Barry. They came from a time when you could sing their songs and would you believe this understand what they were singing about.

[@gala1ish]

Do you remember when the John Barry Seven played the signature tune on the "six five special" pop program on TV

[@VincentofFulham]

I was an Adam Faith fanatic from the age of 9. Bought all his 45's and e.p.'s.....Because my father was in the orchestra I was even lucky enough to see the Sunday afternoon rehearsal for his appearance on live tv that night...either Sunday Night at the London Palladium...or the Prince of Wales theatre...I was 10 at the time so cannot remember exactly...I do remember his band The Worried Men were backing him on stage...a great talent

[@MrAndfio]

One of the best and well loved artists ever.

[@jang3412]

Adam Faith was quite one of my favs; so handsome. I'm puzzled because for some reason I seem to remember reading he died while watching TV and verbalised at it as he was a bit ticked off with it. Since that time I've always thought that is exactly how it went down. I didn't hear it in a comment somewere either, as I'm sure it was in the paper or a magazine. Perhaps somebody else might remember that, but probably not. I have to remember that was 20 years ago.

[@jennyt966]

I liked his songs and watched Budgy.

[@Isleofskye]

Budgie was great.

[@carolgilbert3473]

He was one of the 60s best performers. His music, usually written by Johnny Worth (Les Vandyke) and played by the John Barry Orchestra, was second to none and to say he was a massive hit would be an understatement. When the Merseybeat era arrived he reinvented himself with a rock group, The Roulettes and later became an actor , a manager and a financial journalist. It was sad that Jackie (his wife) was left penniless. His early records, Poor Me, Who Am I, to me were the best.

[@johnkerr7286]

Adam Faith was popular in his day but like a lot of 50's pop singers was seen as 'old hat' once the Beatles came along. i watched your vid and i can not see any pop singers today thinking i will plan my career on Adam's blueprint in fact i guess he's unknown to the latest batch of pop stars, nice vid though.

Adam came out with a couple of good quotes during his lifetime one was "I seem to find it easy to become a millionaire it's staying one that I find hard" another was " I have had problems when I was poor, and problems when I was rich, I preferred the problems when I was rich" he wasn't just a pop singer he was quite a clever guy.
