Subject: Stage star Danny LaRue dies at 81

Written By: Philip Eno on 06/01/09 at 8:04 am

Entertainer Danny LaRue has died at his home at the age of 81, reports say.

LaRue's spokesperson told the PA News Agency, the star had died following a short illness.

He made a career out of his drag act, although he disliked being called a drag artist, preferring the term "comic in a frock".

He made few appearances on television, but played a leading role in keeping the traditions of music hall and pantomime alive.

I was in the car with three of my housemates and two support staff on Monday when I heard on the radio that Danny LaRue had died. He had prostate cancer and starred in a stage production of 'Hello, Dolly!" as well as making a guest appearence in an episode of 'Mr Bean.'

RIP Danny.
