Broken Freddie Starr lived like a recluse in Spain and snubbed neighbours in his final months

, 39 years his junior, left him in 2015, the same year Starr fled to Spain after losing a £1m libel case against sex accuser Karen Ward.

On his arrival to Mijas, he told local media he'd "shook hands with the devil" while showing off the scars from his 2011 quadruple heart bypass. Freddie, who was born in Merseyside in 1943, was being threatened with lawyers after refusing to pay a four-figure debt to community managers for unpaid water bills in Spain.

“She didn’t appear to want to speak English but she must have done because Freddie didn’t speak Spanish.“Freddie’s place was a two-bed townhouse. It would have been worth around £170,000 tops. “He said: “It had a patio out the front with pot plants on it. He didn’t normally come out of the property much.“It was around six months ago that I last saw him. He had a car when he first moved here but that disappeared a while back.

Freddie Starr was a lovely man with not a single bad word to be said against him. I shall be having a few shots whilst watching some of his clips on YouTube. The big man wouldn't have wanted us to remember him in any other way.

For a man who made so many laugh, this is terribly sad…

Very sad RIP Freddie 😢😢
