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’.
Poor Fred rest in peace He was brilliant fun then he started to go to far !but bless he thought he was funny right up to the end!Clown with broken Heart I always imagined him lonely at the end of his days RIP Freddie
