I wasn't aware he was ill. Nonetheless, he was in his 60s and drank most nights like there's no tomorrow. All catches up with you I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clip says it is from last year, though Maisie was around 2021/2022, so I'm guessing didn't even make 60. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The drag queen Miss Jason (aka Jason Sutton) did appear in Maisie. The other Miss Jason is this British YouTube star, who appears in the Celeste music video. I watched that music video twice earlier and thought I was going mad when I couldn't find him and that's why. Mel C makes an appearance in that music vid strangely enough. So I'm guessing the YouTube star just pops up in random stuff but isn't a "performer" as such given the sensible Equity rule of not allowing the same name to be used by two individuals. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suspected this might be the case as he was widely loved. Still, wasn't really my cuppa. If I was in a pub and he was on a stage I'd politely watch and sing along but his act was showtunes, which is not really my thing. I much prefer the drag acts that do dark comedy or 70s/80s/90s jukebox. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
