What Happened To Gary Holton 

nice one Simon!

Beautiful words Simon. I had a friend who used to see Gary in local pubs in and around maida vale back in the 80s. Everyone who met him said he was such a lovely bloke, so down to earth and decent. I wish I'd met him but I always felt I did. He's the only celebrity death who's loss I mourned so much.

so you also know he didnt have any talent. what you saw on the stage or screen was just him exactly like he was every minute of the day. ordinary geezer..

@@philldownes8685 jealous ?

🫶

Yeah, loved that show and have most of it dvd.

Shame he past good man

Gary Holton best loved actor and good at being the wise guy.

It was called acting- how did you know what he was in reality

@@chrisbaxter3597 well i know youre an asshole so its not rocker science is it dummy

My Uncle was a mate of his tooand he was a drummer , laurie

no he didnt have a single bit of talent in his whole body.. could not sing at all....... he got breaks due to the parts needing a slimey little cockney character, exactly what he was. shame he ever got a break because a tiny biit of fame went to his head and the drugs started to flow. what he didnt realise was most other fellas bragging about how much coke and herion they were doing was actually fiction... he did go clean for a little while then got fame in auf and boom came the dope again and it killed him.... it was clever for the film makers putting him into certain parts that needed someone exactly like him.. he didnt act at all . thats exactly what he was realy like in real life, little cockney geezer.. .... there was another absolutely useless actor who got fantastic accolades even a osca, but could not realy act and was exactly the same in every role he played and off screen the same too....... he got praise for a film his old lady was also cast in, it was the best fuck up of his career when they cast him as marc anthony in anthony and cleopatra.. to me i cannot see how you can possibly have marc anthony (supposed t obe a roman solder ) with a strong welsh accent !!!! yes richard burton..... every single part he ever played his voice dont change a single bit............broad sword to danny boy ... see you dont have to have talent to get on in the film game.. ive come across plenty who cant act to save their life yet got extrememly famous....

Very sad 711 honved.

@@joegilligan4895 Just like Amy Winehouse, the question was never 'if' , it was 'when'. Damn waste,both of them.

Very well said, I totally agree

@@JAB771 But who pays the media? We all do with our sad insatiable lust for gossip. Stop feeding the sharks and they will move on.

It was nothing to do with a selfish desire to stimulate his brain box, it was all the media, very woke

@@jamespetherick804 I feel sorry for your wife and kids having you in their lives and your poor parents for that matter……your trolling is more “woke” because somebody else said something nice and “Triggered” your sad little mind, go back to playing with your crayons you cretin of a human

No we don't. I never bought that piece of shit sun crap and never will. Vile trash.

Unfortunately, he was over qualified. He was already an alcoholic by this stage.

@@daviddrew7852 I did actually listen to the story!

I think that shit is made up, dc would have went down the tube with a guy who couldn't hold a note

@@nonrevnosnibormetalbeerrev6251 I agree, even if I was shown proof I would shake my head. A roadie for them maybe,but not the lead singer.

Me to but I got a life instead

Fantastic actor rip mate

👌👌👍

Who pays the Press? Mmm?

well put..

Rip (Gary holton)Wayne ❤❤great actor and a great rock n roller 🎸🎤🔥fantastic voice

Total waste, really sad

i was 5 yrs old such a sad loss to a great guy

🙏

welcome x

👋🙏

Thanks for the post he was a great talent and such a likable lad forever young in our hearts and minds R.i.p Gary

Shoulda steamed in there, son.

Such a shame you missed out on going for a "pint" with Gary". He always seemed a down to earth type of guy, who was friendly and approachable. So talented too. He missed out on some great opportunities. If he hadn't of died so young, I believe he would have ended up as a world renowned artist, in the Gary Oldman/ Tim Roth, type of mould ?? Tragic.

@@michelemartin3642 yes I could not believe he had all the quality's and talent that would outclass many of today's celebrities , but not being boastful I think he was just happy to be with down to earth people and appreciated their company , never one of the Luvie set but oh what a talent. I do believe he could have gone on to bigger things but his demons got in the way , even upon my brief meeting with Gary I felt like I had met a long lost friend he had that way about him , a true star ⭐ that so many miss god bless him.

I'm a massive fan of pet but when Gary sadly died it was never the same. R. I P Gary.

@Marshall Carwood are you talking thrown out in real life. Or in the programme

Series 1 will always be the best!! Loved it when they were in Germany!!!

@@greg-x3z classic series

His replacements were never as good, like that black bloke.

💕Your welcome, thanks

@@MarkMahoney 1

What a waste.

If there ain't no demand for that crap then there's no need to supply it. If we stop reading shit then shit goes away

good one Brian, hope your doing ok mate

@@MarkMahoney Im good brother, thanks for replying!

Isn't that everyone whether they want to admit it or not?

@@supme7558 yesss but theirs ones with a good heart and theirs others who haven't, that's the difference

Yeah was a proper Lad , would be the life of any party , if he had been born 20 years later and not been a young man in the 70s and 80s but in the 00s instead then he may still be with us , as the alcohol issue nowadays is not anywhere near as bad as back then as i remember my own dad downing 6 cans of super Tennent's every day as he could not cope after losing his job in the late 80s it was not a good time for Brits.

No . he was just another stupid druggie who thought he was invincible...

@@philldownes8685 Druggies are cool , Slash , Ozzy , Lemmy , Jimmy Page even Eric Clapton was on Heroin at one point , the drugs expand your mind and make you a better musician , where would Jimi Hendrix have been without LSD ?

Thank you kindly

Me neither, or that he sung the theme tune to Murphy's Mob, used to love that show as a kid. Auf weidershen pet was brilliant, still watching repeats now, classic.

That's new to me too. What a mint bloke for setting up his mate John Altman for the part

Yes, John Altman was so perfect as Nasty Nick Cotton that up until now I could never have imagined anyone else as the character, but now I do have to wonder how the role would have been if Gary had been Nasty Nick instead.

Welcome mate

best regards mate

Very true,everyone has a story,just because you see someone down and out remember,they haven’t always been,and you may be astonished to find out what they have done in their lives,never judge a book ……..

pleasure mate! thanks for the wisdom!

Barry: I'm norra radish ya knaa wayne 🤣

@@cattflap1447 do you wanna come back to our hut

@@staffh3815 Still the best line ever ....

The first two series were gold !

@@staffh3815 best AWP episode ever, wayne and barry on the pull, much to dennis,s anger.

nice one mate

I was at Beaufoy too in the late 60s - can't say I remember him at the time. But with Gary Holton being in a year above and Gary Willmot (West end entertainer ) being in a year behind me it shows the school knew how to produce musical talent. The man behind both was Mr Stumbles the music teacher. Looking back it was a great school if you wanted to express yourself.

Keep safe and well David, you're doing great.

"Keep the Faith!"... As you say" One day at a time. " keep doing meetings and stick like glue to your sponsor. Good luck.

A day at a time David well done buddy on we go stay safe

Stay on the path man!!

Keep well fella

Thatx because to some people addiction is a better prospect then life as Doug stanhope says addiction are just things you enjoy doing more then life
