Peter Stringfellow dies aged 77

Legendary strip club king and my former boss Peter Stringfellow has just died at the age of 77. He passed away in the early hours of thursday morning from lung cancer which he was diagnosed with back in 2008.



Stringfellow was famous for his London strip club and eccentric personality, as well as rubbing shoulders with A-list celebs such a The Beatles. His publicist, Matt Glass, broke the news this morning and said:
 

It's very sad news. He passed away in the early hours of this morning. It was kept very private, he didn't want to tell. He wanted to keep it a secret.

Even though Stringfellow was diagnosed with lung cancer a decade ago, he kept it secret for a number of years as he didn't wan't people's sympathy. He later told The Express that he regretted the decision to keep quet for so long. He said:
 

I do feel guilty about not telling the press at the time. But I didn't want to be known as 'poor old Pete who had cancer'. I think I just wanted to avoid all the sympathy.

But every year since I have felt more and more guilty because, if I had made it known more widely, there's a chance I might have been able to help other men in a similar position.

 I can understand him not wanting to tell people. I would personally hate for people to look at me like some wounded animal. Stringfellow leaves behind a legacy as well as his 27-year-old wife Bella wife and his four kids.



RIP dude.
