Freddie Starr passes away (1943 - 2019) (UK) - BBC & Sky News - 10th May 2019

[@colindavid2078]

Freddie Starr was an all round entertainer, not just a comedian! The man didn't just stand up on stage telling jokes, he entertained the audience through song, dance, jokes, impersonations, and audience interaction. His Elvis impressions are probably one of the best things he was known for, as he had the voice down to a tee! He was a true legend of Britain, one of their best, yet his country let him down in the end! The media as usual talked sh*t about Freddie as they do all the time, things that were not true. This broke Freddie's heart, and he moved to Spain to live to try and get away from all the heartache! He lost his tour dates, his status, his reputation, and eventually his life due to the media and people listening to the crap they talk! Unfortunately, the man who was one of Britain's finest, was forgotten about overnight and left to rot! Freddie died alone and sad in Spain, renting a room above a bar where he performed every night to make rent. He died heartbroken in my opinion, and thousands of the people "who claimed they loved him", didn't even show up at his funeral as they were "too proud" to be seen at it, due to the allegations against him! SHAME ON THEM! I'm from Northern Ireland, but I was lucky to see Freddie live a few times in Blackpool UK, and actually talk to him! He was a gentleman. R.I.P Freddie.......a TRUE STAR!!!💖💥

[@paulcooper1753]

As a little boy he made me cry with laughter and that is how we shall remember him. Best wishes to all his family. Freddie was "The one and only", this phrase was truly made for YOU!

[@colindavid2078]

One of the Very best, if not the best the UK ever had! Will be truly missed by those who loved him! I for one will miss him, but grateful for the laughs he gave me and my Dad.

[@stephenbanks2217]

There will never ever be anyone in the same league as Freddy , no one , RIP top man

[@peakyparttimers9362]

Loved Freddie and Freddie loved everyone. What a legend

[@deanthyer9896]

No one will ever be such a man as him ,words cant explain who he was wonderfull and made people laugh never will i forget him grew up with him making me laugh and still watch him now ..never will there be a man such as him again a legend rip ..

[@headron66]

He walked a fine line in comedy, he was a genius. RIP Freddie thanks for the laughs

[@marisiachody7684]

He is greatly missed. He didn’t deserve what he got towards the end of his life. He made everyone laugh and when his health was fading, everyone wanted a share of his wealth, even though he had little left. I truly believe all of this had a part in his death. God’s Speed Mr. Starr

[@DrAnne-mc8er]

_"...everyone wanted a share of his wealth"?_ The only reason he ran away to Spain was because he owed £1.2 million in debts and unpaid court costs you numpty! And the only reason he was living in that apartment was because a fellow criminal owned it, and let him live there rent-free. Try doing some credible research before you comment marisia. Otherwise, people might just think you're an uninformed idiot!

[@tonylogan7581]

I had chronic depression in 2018 and a BIG thankyou to Freddie who helped me.. R.I.P the funniest there was and the funniest there will be. Freddie Star

[@cosmic4037]

Happy i bumped into him in spain. Shortly after he passed away. You are truly a star that shines even now.

[@pbeckett4163]

R.I.P. Freddie , a true genius .One of my comedy hero's

[@paulellis8443]

Nothing but a funny legend. I watch videos over and over this man had something great. Now videos are all that are left.

[@vantheman1238]

Disgusting how the great Freddie Starr was treated by this country. Incredibly talented singer and such a brilliantly gifted funny man who entertained millions of people. How he was caught up in that Yew Tree investigation was a disgrace because he was a good man.

[@colindavid2078]

The media has always been "the VIRUS"! Bigger than COVID! Disgusting what they did to Freddie Starr, the man was legend of the country! I hope they rot!

[@camrenwick]

So sad his last years were alone and depressed. RIP sir

[@dustyrose1964]

[@keepitrealdowntoearth4328]

After a life time of giving us genius entertainment ,he died as soon as those legations were made .the press hounded an ageing man to death,they never left him alone! And he was innocent ,poor guy,but those who grew up with you mate will always respect you 👍

[@DrAnne-mc8er]

It's just a pity they didn't start hounding him to death 50 years earlier!

[@marilynholmes8229]

Dr. Anne Why are you so vehement ? If you haven’t got anything nice to say don’t say anything at all. Kind words are short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless.

[@antonunltd3713]

What a sad ending to a talented entertainer

[@bonniescott6470]

Disgusting what they did to Freddie RIP Freddie 🙏🏻

[@colindavid2078]

[@douglasmurray4473]

What a huge loss to the world of Entertainment and I'm disgusted by Accusations to a man who would harm no one. He was one of the greats in Comedy with a great singing talent but God has the pleasure of his company and this is reason for all of the Rain

[@kevinjohnson-xt6kn]

What a comedian, remember what he did at the fa cup final in 1984 at the hotel with the Everton players .Marching about in his wellies on the grounds of the hotel . RIP FREDDIE STARR

[@clikuk3719]

We will always remember the people who made us feel good and he will be with us till we meet again Rip . Fred

Freddie Starr was one of the funniest stars we British have ever had rest in peace now all the silly stories about him will be coming out

[@tazzarman]

He had a paupers funeral paid for by the by the city he was born in ,and not one celeb turned up,shame on them,to the best comedian this country ever had and a massive thank you to Freddie,R.I.P

[@andrewwalker9421]

no it was SHEFFIELD FUNERAL DIRECTOR BILL FOGG who paid to have him flown back to BRITAIN and taken to LIVERPOOL for his funeral

[@tazzarman]

EVEN SO THATS REALLY SAD,I WATCH FREDDIES VIDEO,S ALL THE TIME,HE WAS AFUNNY GUY@@andrewwalker9421

[@andrewwalker9421]

@@tazzarman yeah it was really sad that he died broke but what gets annoying is that his so called COMEDIAN friends not there to see him off , MAYBE it was too much for them to put their hands in their pockets to help out

[@MarkRichShootingthebreeze]

God bless you Freddie. Your were one of the greats. RIP. xx

[@DrAnne-mc8er]

_"One of the greats"?_ I assume you mean one of the great paedophiles along with his mates, Jimmy Savile, Stuart Hall, Max Clifford and Jonathan King. That's hardly a great legacy to leave though is it!

[@juneperkins2309]

Brilliant comedy at its best alas another icon has gone RIP Freddie

[@aditiban002]

Oh No.... Oh No... I just found he is no more. I found him onmy own, on you tube .. and instantly loved him from here to the moon. He made me laugh so much. He , the funniest man ever in the whole world. So talented...as an actor, as a vocalist... I was heartbroken when I found he was depressed, alone, away from everybody... I wish I could write to him, let him know he has been brighting lives of folks around the world, even in India he has a huge huge Fan , who love him, respect him... You will always be there in our mind and heart... RIP...

[@emmanuelwolf6568]

its funny how the very media who reported on this legend saying how good he was, hypocritically, they are part of his ultimate demise. i hope they are proud of themselves.
