A note on his wife. Patricia Healey had suffered from Alzheimer's disease for around 10 years before dying of COVID-19 complications in February 2021 at 85 years of age. They had been married 56 years. I'd say his clock is ticking. If not DL worthy at least included in some DDP. As I have pointed out previously. When married that long, spouses don't tend to stick around once one passes. Especially a sudden death like COVID-19. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please Release Him, let him go... His own website says rescheduling for early next year, (I'm not clicking on The Scum) so even if its serious, he/his management is playing it down. Then again, at 85, borrowed time & all that. Certainly DL-worthy IMO. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They must have met when Engelbert did Eurovision in Baku. Emin also happens to be the son of a billionaire oligarch and the former son-in-law of the Azeri president/dictator.

millwall32 114 Posted February 27 I'm seeing him live in LA in a couple of months time. I'll report back if he's looking peaky. (Am seeing Wayne Newton and Gilbert O'Sullivan too so will do the same.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
