In the very early days of the Mersey Sound, Gerry and the Pacemakers was my favourite group, even above The Beatles. I never saw them at the time, but, fortunately, I got to see Gerry Marsden at my theatre about three years ago. He was very frail and could barely walk properly. His speaking voice was also very weak, but as soon as he got on stage he changed completely and was still able to belt out all the old favourites just like the old days.
Not just because he was one of my first favourite singers, but also, being a Liverpool supporter, I have always held a warm spot in my heart for Gerry. He will be sadly missed.

Nicola Pagett has died aged 75 after being diagnosed with a brain tumour, her family has confirmed.
Pagett was best known for playing Elizabeth Bellamy, the rebellious daughter of Richard and Lady Marjorie, in 1970s TV series Upstairs, Downstairs.
Performances in Harold Pinter plays, notably 1985's Old Times, also defined her 30-year stage and screen career.
Her daughter Eve Swannell confirmed she passed "very peacefully" on Wednesday.
It followed a brain tumour diagnosis under three weeks ago, she told BBC News.
"It was extremely sudden" she added. "I was by her side".
Pagett's role as Bellamy in the first two series of ITV's 1971 drama Upstairs, Downstairs helped the show win four Emmys.
Her character's storyline, dominated by a tumultuous love life while stuck in a loveless marriage, included conceiving a child through an affair with a publisher, before leaving for New York.
It was Pagett's idea to exit the series because she said she "didn't want to be known for one thing only."
Les McKeown, singer for the Bay City Rollers during the British pop sensations' mid-'70s heyday, died suddenly at 65
Rest in Peace Les
