The Empire Theatre has paid an emotional tribute to Paul O'Grady following the star's death.
Paul died "unexpected but peacefully" last night at the age of 67. His husband, Andre Portasio confirmed the news in a statement.
The Birkenhead-born TV and radio star was due to appear as Miss Hannigan in Annie at the Empire this June. He had played the role in the stage production as it toured the UK, most recently appearing in Edinburgh.
