Jane McDonald ’s life changed forever in March 2021 when she lost her beloved partner of 13 years, Walter ‘Eddie’ Rothe, to lung cancer.
The English singer had been in a relationship with The Searchers drummer since 2008, when the former teenage lovers were re-introduced to each other by a mutual friend.
On Christmas Eve of that same year, Rothe asked for McDonald’s hand in marriage and the couple embarked on an engagement that would last over a decade.
