So sad. First time I have seen these news reports. I discovered him a couple of years ago on KZbin. Was just a kid when he was at his prime. Thank you.

Billy was my very first crush. My bedroom wall was covered in his photos. I saw him sing live on stage 3 times. A humble man who loved wildlife.

Always sad to remember this but you’ve put together a wonderful tribute compilation here. Many thanks for your efforts. Subscribed to catch up as being a long time fan since ‘61. Dx

My aunt adored Billy Fury. A few weeks after she died my Alexa randomly played Maybe Tomorrow as I came through the back door. No one else was home to instruct Alexa!

64 year old men do not cry at old news clips. I must have something in my eyes or hay fever.

[@inverross9019]

I cried when John Lennon died, and I cried when Billy Fury died. A sad moment captured in time through the coming of home video.

[@katherinemoore7271]

After all these years I still think he was one of the best England had to offer❤❤❤

[@lloydwhitefoot8244]

Very very sad a class artist

[@king77703]

Same age as Elvis Presley, who he met in 1962 👍

[@RockinEd]

He never made it here in the US-- despite the fact that LONDON records put out aobut 15 singles on him...

[@Ozone280]

Halfway to paradise was originally a Tony Orlando hit. Not a lot of people know that.
