Classic headline from The Sun today 'Freddie Starr Joins His Hamster', reporting at it's finest.

Not exactly the most charming man in the world, and obviously a bit “old school” with his humour, but he did used to make me laugh.

Its a little curious that a lot of media outlets are saying "Freddie Starr reported dead" rather than "Freddie Starr is dead"
Its almost as if they don't trust Starr not to turn up alive having hoaxed them all

In the afterlife I'm sure he'll get a job at Pets at Home. RIP Freddie.

Shame we don't have the birth deaths and marriages thread anymore, could have gone on there.

I saw Freddie Starr at the Circus Tavern as part of my 18th birthday, my dad got a front row table and he was very funny. His humour would not be tolerated today, back then though he was hilarious.

Can't remember thinking that anything he did was remotely funny and he didn't come across as a particularly pleasant person. But a lot of people seem to like him. Just as well we're not all the same I suppose

Yup. Some of us have a sense of humour. The guy was very talented, did some really clever stuff and was funny. Watch YouTube clips. Impossible not to laugh.
