Look Who It Is!: My Story

Last month, he went to the funeral of his friend the comedian Paul O’Grady, who died aged 67. He was unnerved – by the service, by the burial, by the process of watching the coffin lowered into the ground. At the wake, he could not stop thinking: “But he’s there, he’s still in the ground. So very weird,” he says, adding, “I’m always thinking of death. Not like suicide, but what happens when you’re going to the other side?”
