Sir Michael Parkinson’s son has revealed that the late broadcaster suffered from “imposter syndrome” and “carried with him a sense of working-class guilt” throughout his career.
Parkinson’s family announced that the chat show host died aged 88 on 17 August, after an illustrious career in which he interviewed celebrities including Orson Welles, John Wayne, Sir Michael Caine, Madonna, John Lennon and Muhammed Ali. A spokesperson said he “passed away peacefully at home in the company of his family” after a “brief illness”.
