Paul O'Grady had a heartbreaking reason for not bringing back Lily Savage
2005 saw O'Grady grapple with personal tragedy when his partner of 25 years and manager, Brendan Murphy, died after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. In a 2012 interview with the Daily Mail, O'Grady revealed that Murphy's death and the vital role he'd played in Lily's success was part of the reason why he no longer wished to perform as Lily in public, saying she "sort of died with him".
