I worked with David I n east enders and I told him that I have never met a man so nice as him one good person in and out may he keep having a long and happy life hhx
Unlike others who have dyed their hair, had skin grafts, try to wear the 'latest trendy' outfits and generally look like they ought not to look, Mr. Essex just looks natural and unpretentious, much to his credit.
YES, i was in IReland many years ago at Blarney Castle he and his family were there, and the look he gave me cause i was like, look at that guy he is beautiful ! some nice worker there gave me some paper and a pen and i got his autograph he was soooooooo sweet. to be honest, we set eyes on each other and i was almost mesmerized. seriously all the workers there at the castle were so excited, i was like, well i think, what, who is that? he was extremely kind and nice to me.
You are as young as you feel. I am 71 but like David I still hold the mindset of a much younger woman. Look at him, still a handsome man. Think young and it does show in your looks, that “You are never 71!” …😀🤘🤘🤘🤘
I have always liked David Essex i have seen him play live 3 times hes down to earth kind caring person and he doesn't come across being headed either hes a nice man i saw him in Ipswich here in the UK at a concert in the 1980s and twice at the corn exchange theatre in Cambridgeshire England also back in the 80s i have being a fan of his since 1973 i was 15 and i went to see both of his flims too that will be the day and stardust
Many many memories of seeing David perform all over the country. Me and my girlies who adored David could write a book! David introduced us to The Real Think when they were his support act and we had our photograph taken with Frank Finley when he did Mutiny on the London stage. Thank you David for helping to make such wonderful memories. Ps. You’re still gorgeous. ❤️
Absolutly love this man was gorgeous in the 70s and still is gorgeous still has them twinkley eyes and sexy smile how can you not love this lovely manxxx
Saw him at the Waterside Theatre in Aylesbury where he was wonderful but, I was shocked at how overexcited a lot of quite elderly ladies got when he took his jacket off!!!!!
David is still a beautiful man - & whars more he has been surrounded by genuine people who have not ripped him off & left him pennyless also I like the way he adapted from stage to screen & back again Long may you live David xxx
"That'll be the day" was a really good film. Quite moving. I didn't think much of the follow up, "Stardust", but I suppose it was a logical continuation of the character's story. A father at 76? I'll have some of whatever He 's on.
@@sallyjoan appreciate that’s your opinion but not everyone has the same opinion , for me he is still a handsome man , but don’t force my opinions on others .
Boxing Day 1982 I met David and his family at a beach bar in La Cala de Mijas. He was with his then wife & 2 kids + a Spanish nanny I struck up a conversion with him cos I knew he had connections with the family who worked for me at my bakery shop on Canvey . A cousin,also from Canvey was his children’s UK nanny.He was very relaxed and expanded the conversation to his own memories of Canvey in the 60s when he was a parka- clad Mod on his Lambretta scooter with tigers tails attached and ‘ a tiger in his tank’ 😁. We then carried on chatting about his ‘finca’ ( farmhouse) up towards the mountains appx a couple of kms away. Somewhere in the conversation I realised that he was completely unaware of the position of his beautiful song Only a Winter’s Tale in the UK charts and I told him he had been robbed of Christmas No 1 by that awful thing bing by Rene& Renate( no mobile phones then!!) . He wasn’t at all phased by the news and just shrugged it off, probably more occupied by his plans the production of his stage musical ‘ Bounty’ starring Sinnitta. By this time he got fed up waiting for breakfast to arrive wasn’t rude ,but gathered his family together and nonchalantly sauntered back towards his finca in the hills. Absolutely right. a real genuine East End boy , just extremely talented and hard-working and deserves everything he has achieved !! 👍😄. Graham.
Use to live in the same flats as Dave many moons ago in Padnall Road Dagenham Essex, played tennis with dave against he's bedroom wall. Gave me a load of master pressings records, wish I had them now. Dave was very popular I use to get girls knock on my door asking to get an Autograph from him. Seen him a few times with my mum who loved he's music.
CLICKBAIT!!...David is in very good health!!.......When I was about 10 yrs old in 1973-74 my mum took me to see him at the theatre in London acting in the musical play Godspell,it was fantastic,and coincidentally my wife of 12 years was there too,she`s been obsessed with him for 50 years now.
@mjh5437 I saw the same show when it toured. M class in school in Liverpool went to see it (I think it was at the Liverpool Empire...but could have been the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall) and to this day I can remember most of it. They don't make 'em like that any more!
I still miss Pete May and Alan Wakeman - "the original horizontal man"... playing with David; Alan Wakeman enanbled me to make a donation to Pete May's wifes' charity when he sadly died; Pete May was the best drummer I have ever seen
I was lucky to have had a fleeting conversation with him at a photographic studio in London. I was in my early 20’s and have always said that here seemed a ‘right nice geezer’. I could be wrong but I’m sure he started in an east end boozer/club, owned by the Krays. Coming from Stepney way it’s very possible.
My ONLY memory of David Essex is watching him in Godspell. I was in those seats by the stage and at a certain point the cast distributed small glasses of wine. I got mine directly from the hands of Jesus/David Essex. Had I known he would become só famous I would have kept the cup.
@janevanreenen8768 I think they are referring to the birth of his child when he was 76. Not much of a "rumour" though. Most of these are like this...they are just clickbait.
@@TheRealist2022I agree. Click bait is always annoying, and a lazy way of creating a headline. In this case it's particularly insulting because they are reporting on a happy event in the life of a good man. Why do some people seem to want to revel in finding bad news everywhere? rhetorical question! - must enjoy being miserable 😂😂
Royal Albert Hall and Mutiny charity event... I was at both.... then crawley leisure centre where the band played the theme tune to blind date; Pete May was the best drummer David had; Rod and Martin brilliant but Alan Wakeman what an asset.
My Auntie who was seventeen in 1974 left me a very strange present. It was in a large, sturdy frame, so before unwrapping I presumed it was a framed photo or a painting...but it instead I found a finely framed pair of light blue Y-fronts (with dark blue edging)! In the corner just beside them is Davids autograph on a ticket. I haven't hung it on any wall in my house. I'm wondering how much I could possibly get for them before all his original fans are gone. Apparently they ARE worn. She pinched them from his Hotel bedroom where her Mother, my Nan, worked. She already had the autograph. How can I proove they belonged to David though? If I can find a photo of him wearing them that's HALF the job. As I said, they were amongst his dirty laundry (but they do LOOK clean!) so maybe there exists a trace of his DNA if my Auntie and her best friend haven't sniffed away every last molecule of any that was on them. 😐 Actually...I don't want to think about what kind of and of WHOSE DNA might be found. SO, if there are any of his original, loyal, female fans out there reading this - I am open to offers. I don't expect a ridiculous amount for them. (Maybe I should sell them to a Hard Rock Café, if one exists in Essex....I wonder if there's a David Essex Museum...🤔)
@StepladdertoSause -That’s a great story and I should imagine only a fan would buy the picture of David’s Y-Fronts on eBay or auction 😁 however if they were pinched from his hotel room could you legally sell them? Maybe contact his agent and offer to give them as a gift back to him ? Good luck !
I don't remember any of this -- just one top 40 hit ( "Rock On") and a couple of minor, music related movies. Maybe the reader should have a British accent.
Why? I have them both and still have a great life. (Edit: ah, correction, I was looking to see if there were any replies to my other comment but this time with my spectacles...I do apologise, I thought you had written "Mental Mistress and Dyslexia".)
A little selfish, haveing a baby at 76. In reality Dad is not likely to be around for that child, when the child is 18years plus. Yes he may leave money but can not live long enough to be there in person.
@@sandragriffiths9692 I doubt his missus cares...when he goes, she'll still have all his cash. Not saying she'll be a multi-millionaire...after all he has kids from other marriages...but she won't be short of a bob or two.
I worked with David I n east enders and I told him that I have never met a man so nice as him one good person in and out may he keep having a long and happy life hhx
David is still looking Good
Rock on❤
My girl friends and I have seen him so many times. Still so good looking, those eyes! Keep going David, we will see you again soon.
you need glasses too
@@sallyjoan... It seems you lack Charisma, something David has and you don't.
Oh how I loved this man! Clearly I have great taste.
David still is as HANDSOME as ever
get glasses
Sally Joanmedia.tenor.com/3rWkC7D6zDMAAAAM/hide-embarrassed.gif
Have always liked him.
David Essex was gorgeous then and he’s gorgeous now. I have always loved to look at him , still do, and he is still a good singer.
gorgeous now, you need glasses
DAVID IS ICONIC AS WE KNOW BUT HE HAS NEVER BEEN BIG HEADED ABOUT HIM SELF THATS ONE OF HIS GIFTS 👍
He has a good sense of humour.
O yes he was big head
wow David Essex is 76!!!! how did that happen?? 1973 and his poster was on the wall of my bedroom!!! he has aged like a fine wine.
👍😁
It's getting old, and within a blink of eye your there
Me too
Me too. Had no idea he was still alive. So great to see such a talent still healthy and living his best life.
Hey, even I was a catch in 1973!
He is absolutely amazing….such beautiful eyes.
He's aged sooo gracefully too❤.........
Unlike others who have dyed their hair, had skin grafts, try to wear the 'latest trendy' outfits and generally look like they ought not to look, Mr. Essex just looks natural and unpretentious, much to his credit.
And boy has he still got it , life long fan
He's still so handsome.I love his song 'A winter's Tale' !

Went to see him last week he was fantastic his voice has never changed he is my idol
One of the few stars who has no dirty secrets I remember him in an interview where he said Gary glitter always made him feel uneasy.
I can see why my mum had a thing for him 😂❤ what a looker .and that smile makes me weak at knees lol
Aged to Perfection ❤
Good singer and actor. Still good looking too
Absolutely bloody gorgeous 😊😊😊❤
You are as young as you feel. I am 71 but like David I still hold the mindset of a much younger woman. Look at him, still a handsome man. Think young and it does show in your looks, that “You are never 71!” …😀🤘🤘🤘🤘
Perfect specimen of a man, with a heart even better. ❤❤
He still looks good at 76
I have only seen David perform live once and that was at the Royal Albert Hall and what an incredible voice he has.

Interesting.
Saw him at the Waterside Theatre in Aylesbury where he was wonderful but, I was shocked at how overexcited a lot of quite elderly ladies got when he took his jacket off!!!!!
David is still a beautiful man - & whars more he has been surrounded by genuine people who have not ripped him off & left him pennyless

Sexy guy for sure, easy to attract the opposite sex to him and good singing too. one of the nice guys of the olden days.

"Retirement has not crossed his mind" is hardly the case - I attended the last show on his farewell tour!

It's ridiculous how fast the sub titles are going i haven't got time to read them.
It's a bad video all round

Like Terence Stamp and Peter Gabriel, all still very dishy in their 70's

So good looking love ruthxxxxx
Do you realise one of the images is not David but a look alike? Chris was on a show called Stars in your eyes' appearing as David!
his older self resembles that of a progeny of Anthony Hopkins
Sonny was born in 2015 when David was 67 not 76. sonny is now 9 (2024)
If you ever get the chance listen to David and Sue Lawley flirting with each other desert island discs.
Listen to tje song he picks for her
Randy old goat
Respect due 👍
he does not look his age he still looks young
David Albert Cook. Born 23 July 1947. Not Surprisingly born in the English county of... Essex.
So what's the rumours?
He has hinted that he might take up Backgammon again..
@@Isleofskye I'm comming home soon. I'm gonna make you a star ⭐ yeahhhh.
Mental illness and Dementia are horrible conditions..poor David Essex ! .
The rumours are that he is to be a father again at 76, so what are you on about poor David Essex?
Why? I have them both and still have a great life.

Where does it mention dementia ?
Watch it again it tells you he is already a dad again@@martincannon1078
Christ , he's "of a certain age" dementia is not a great surprise at that age.

Some people stay sharp, fit, and active into their 90’s so, yes, he could still be there for his youngest son
@@ottowa58my dad is 95 he was 40 when I was born. At that time that was considered older.
