The London drag venue where Paul O'Grady found mainstream success honoured him with a 'minute of applause' after the TV personality died at 67.
Wednesday night’s show (March 29) at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern (RVT), in Vauxhall, saw Paul remembered as “one of the greatest drag artists the UK has ever seen” with minute of raucous applause for the TV star, instead of a typical minute of silence.
Paul died “unexpectedly but peacefully” on Tuesday evening (March 28), his partner, Andre Portasio, said in a statement. He rose to fame on the nightclub circuit as the witty, platinum wig-wearing Lily Savage – a name believed to have been inspired by his late mother.
