Veteran Entertainer Max Bygraves Dies

	Veteran Entertainer Max Bygraves Dies Veteran entertainer Max Bygraves has died in Australia, aged 89. The comedian, actor, and singer, whose catchphrase was "I wanna tell you a story", died in his sleep at home in Hope Island, Queensland, on Friday. He had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease. He emigrated from Bournemouth, Dorset, to Australia in 2005. "We have lost one of the best entertainers that Britain has ever produced," his agent Johnny Mans said. "His death is a great loss to the entertainment profession and a great loss to all of his friends in the industry." "He was a friend to everyone and there was no 'airs and graces' about him, he was just a superstar, but didn't realise he was a superstar." Born in Rotherhithe, south-east London, in 1922 as Walter William Bygraves, the former Family Fortunes presenter gained the nickname Max from his impersonations of comedian Max Miller while serving in the RAF.
