Freddie Starr died of a ‘heart attack while he was watching TV’

Late Freddie Starr does Mick Jagger impression in 1970 Royal Variety Performance

“Freddie burst into hysterics and photographer Steve Lewis got a great shot which made the front page.” Showbiz became his escape from a life of crime in the 1960s and he formed a band called the Midnighters. Lennon reportedly once asked Starr to join The Beatles, but was told: “I’ve got my own band and I’m bigger than you.”

A chat show regular, he appeared on Des O’Connor Tonight more than any other guest and also sat alongside boxing legend Muhammad Ali on Parkinson in 1981.Host Parky recalls: “During a break, Freddie was dancing round the studio saying he was faster and prettier than Ali and was going to whup him. He first took them to calm down after a manic performance on stage, adding: “After 20 minutes I felt like a weight had been lifted off my mind and I felt balanced. I thought, ‘These are good’.
