BBC News Paul Daniels: TV magician dies after brain tumour diagnosis Magician Paul Daniels has died aged 77, after being diagnosed with a brain tumour. He was at his Berkshire home with wife Debbie McGee when he died in the early hours of Thursday. "Debbie and the family would like to thank everyone for their support and asks that their privacy be respected at this sad time," his publicist said. He fronted BBC's Paul Daniels Magic Show for 15 years and became one of the biggest stars on British TV. His publicist added: "The TV star, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour earlier this year, passed away peacefully at home with Debbie at his side in the early hours of this morning. Debbie and the family would like to thank everyone for their support and asks that their privacy be respected at this sad time." Daniels was known for a string of catchphrases, including the line: "You'll like this... not a lot, but you'll like it." He had recently returned from hospital to his Berkshire home, following his diagnosis in February. His son, Martin Daniels, said at the time: "He has said before, 'When it's your time it's your time' and that's how he is trying to face up to things." He leaves wife McGee, who had been his on-stage assistant, and his three sons from a previous marriage. Edited by daib0, 17 Mar 2016, 01:38 PM.

Very sad news, I loved his magic show on the BBC. I can't believe how many entertainers I watched or listened to over the years have gone lately. |

So many well known people have died in the first few months of this year. I was never a big fan of Paul Daniels, probably because I'm not a fan of illusion, but Paul Daniels was a big personality and, although it was well known that he had brain cancer and a limited life expectancy, its still very sad news that the illness has taken him. RIP |
