RalphC Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Veteran entertainer Max Bygraves has died, his agent says. The 89-year-old performer, whose catchphrase was "I wanna tell you a story", was well known for his talents as a comedian, actor, and singer, often appearing at the London Palladium. He emigrated from Bournemouth, Dorset, to Australia in 2005. He had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease. "We have lost one of the best entertainers that Britain has ever produced," his agent Johnny Mans said. "He was a friend to everyone... there were no airs and graces." Bygraves wife Blossom Murray, who he married in 1942, died last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lato Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Sad when anyone dies but to be honest not familiar with a lot of his material (different generation) but respect for his standing in entertainment in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missunderstood Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I don't think he ever used smut, bad language or innuendos in his act, something a lot of today's so called entertainers could learn from. RIP Max Bygraves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big J R Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Well, I certainly didn't meet any of them.
