Billy Furys Grave Celebrity Famous Graves

Billy Fury, English singer, musician, songwriter, and actor. An early star of rock and roll, he equalled the Beatles' record of 24 hits in the 1960s and spent 332 weeks on the UK chart.[4] His hit singles include "Wondrous Place", "Halfway to Paradise" and "Jealousy". Fury also maintained a film career, notably playing rock performers in Play It Cool in 1962 and That'll Be the Day in 1973.
AllMusic journalist Bruce Eder stated that Fury's "mix of rough-hewn good looks and unassuming masculinity, coupled with an underlying vulnerability, all presented with a good voice and some serious musical talent, helped turn [him] into a major rock and roll star in short order".[5] Others have suggested that his rapid rise to prominence was due to his "Elvis-influenced hip swivelling and, at times, highly suggestive stage act"

[@j.j.1064]

Great video. There was a period in Billy's life when his career nosedived and he was reduced to gigs in pubs. This was in the early seventies. I went to see him in a pub on a Saturday night in north Birmingham it was £1 to get in. It was a good show. His career later arose again and pub gigs we again a thing of the past.

[@jacquelineloaring2438]

One of my first heart-throbs Billy Fury. My Mum used to say how ill he looked but I never thought he would pass so soon. RIP Billy 🙏

[@GiantmanUK]

Billy Fury was way before my time Alan,well I mean I was born in 67,but he was in or from a different era,and I knew nothing about him until I just watched your excellent tribute to him and as you said his Grave is Amazingly well looked after! I then watched Billy on the 1976 Russell Harty show although for some reason Harty annoys me,but it shows what a thoroughly nice guy Billy Fury was! R.i.p. .

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

And if you look into him Roger. It was a lovely guy in real life. He spent a great deal of time. Wanted to look after neglected animals. He just was a soft soul and it came out in his songs. Thank you for that by the way, I appreciate you.

I was never a Billy Fury fan as I think I was that little bit too young. However he was a great talent and as ever even if you aren’t a fan it’s always fascinating to listen to what you have to say about that particular artist and their life. I must add what a beautiful grave and so well kept with absolute love which is always so nice to see. Thanks❤️

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hello John, wasn't it super refreshing to see such a lovely grave that's well kept after all those years. There's quite a few that are getting neglected. Even other people were very well known but this was super good observations. Thank you, Alan

Well done Alan great video. Only 42 so young. ❤

Very respectful videos Sir

[@ROY-COLLEY]

Billy also had a House here in Wales. A friend of mine bought it back in the 90s. In the Attic was a load of books on Wild Birds . Also it had Stables. One thing I remember well about the house was the kitchen was pink. It was said a close lady friend of his wanted it that colour. On the Drive way up to the house was a stream with a Tree Stump . It was told to me Billy use to sit there to write songs. Also in the Down stairs bathroom were a few well know signatures on the Wall. My friend Karen no longer lives there now. She sold up and Moved to Hay-On -Wye. Very famous for second hand Books.

[@andywright3450]

Hey Alan greatost this mate !!! .. great singer Billy was sadly missed by many fans cheers 💯😊

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

He had it all but unfortunately didn't have the most important thing his health. What a shame. Thank you for the comment. Andy, take care mate

[@paulhanson6008]

Another lovely video Alan. A very attractive and well tended burial plot. I like the colour of the stone and the little blue/ purple chippings, and the proximity of the grave to the path. Although I’m familiar with Billy Fury and some of his hits, I wasn’t really a fan, or someone who would buy his records. That said, I appreciate his talent and contribution to the music industry. Coincidentally, I sometimes meet up with some of my wife’s friends in Nottingham. The husband of one of the ladies she knows is a musician and promoter in a Billy Fury tribute show, “Halfway to Paradise” featuring some of the band’s original members from The Tornados, with Colin Gold playing Billy Fury. ✌️& ❤️

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

It was a superbly well kept pretty looking grave. I agree Paul but I like the bit where the tribute band as some of the original members in they must be quite old because then are going back 60 years to when they probably originate played well done them ! Thanks for the very interesting comment Alan

[@thomascoyne157]

Very creative chat as he’s got a nice Irish person for a neighbour looking at the headstone☘️👍👍👍👍nice video 👍👍

[@jeffreyprice773]

I liked Billy, in my early teens i used to look in my parents wardrobe mirror with my collar up doing the actions, My mum had the same health condition she contacted at age 12, had an opperation in later life, lucky she lived to late 70's of age. I did have a couple of his singles at the time.

[@thekitowl]

Although the Silver Beatles didn’t get the gig backing Billy, Larry got them to back one of his other artists Johnny Gentle on a short tour. Billy & Ringo were in the same class at school at one point.

[@gillnelson9037]

I don't remember him as such only when tv shows old programmes. He sounds like a nice caring guy. Such a beautiful grave and very well kept. My daughters boyfriend nick name is Billy furry given to him by the crew on ship when he was in the Royal navy. His surname is furry . Thanks again for sharing this interesting story love from Gill Holmfirth West Yorkshire ❤️💙

[@joekerr6685]

All the tracks on The Sound of Fury where all written by Billy. In the film That’ll be the day the drummer in Stormy Tempest was Keith Moon and I believe the pianist was Marty Wilde although Marty doesn’t appear in the credits. There is a statue of Billy Albert dock in Liverpool. Good and informative video 👍

[@arfamccann5824]

Another nicely presented video Alan. As I live not too far from Mill Hill, I visited Billy’s grave only a few weeks ago. ( about 5 or 6 graves to the right of Billy is the grave of Annie Lennox’s son) It is in a lovely cemetery, well kept. Thanks for taking the time to make all your videos for us fans. Well done. 👍

Another good one Alan. I must admit I didn't know anything about Billy Fury (much too young ...ha ha), but even so I always enjoy your videos and learn from them. At least I know a lot more about Billy now. What a beautiful grave he has and obviously people still make sure there are fresh flowers there so that proves what a legend he must have been and what a genuinely nice person (especially caring so much about wild life). Thanks Alan.

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hello Louise, I also didn't know a great deal about him. Just some facts but I didn't realise it was such a big star and such a nice person. A very sensitive man. That's the beauty of making these films. You get a glimpse of the real person not just the showbiz. Thank you ever so much for taking the time. Alan

reminds of when i saw freddie starr billy had just died and freddie did a tribute to him that night it was brilliant.

[@chasleask8533]

It's wild to think that Billy Fury died at only 42 , but had been regarded as a rock dinosaur for at least 10 years before his death . Even in the film with David Essex they played on his 'has-been ' status . What a shame . Wrote some great songs .

Hello, I just saw a documentary on the very exentric producer, composer Malcolm McLaren : his favourite singer was Billy Fury, and he got inspired by Billy and his fearlessness, just shows how powerful a presence he was. I only discovered him now... See you in your next video, by the way : I have a small encounter memory of Roger Moore in Switzerland when 6 y old...what a friendly ma. Tom, Belgium.

[@travellingunderpants]

Thank you for such a lovely video Allan. For me I must admit to watching this with a tinge of very personal sadness....Billy Fury was a favourite of my dad and we had an LP which he played so often that even to this day I can recite the lyrics to Billy's songs. My parents divorced when I was 16....he left, remarried and has never made contact since. Each time I hear a Billy Fury song these old memories return. I didn't want to watch but kinda didn't want to let you down by not.... watching it though has been quite a cathartic experience. Thank you xx

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hello, the underpants I am sorry I didn't see this 3 weeks ago. If I ever don't reply it's because it slipped through the net. I can imagine it music and smells bring back our memories, don't they? It's like it switches on the tape recorder in the mind and I can imagine it was quite difficult listening to the songs again, but very sweet of you to say you felt you should cos you enjoy watching my channel. That's super nice of you. I appreciate it enormously. It is difficult to lose a parent. At 16. I lost my father at 16 through an accident and my mother at 19 so I know exactly what you mean at 15. I don't really know my dad that well but by 19 I got to know my mother very well as a person. That's life. It can be said You take care and I'll see you one day soon. I know you're very close to where jade was buried so I'll keep that in mind. Take care Alan
