It’s more than three years since Paul O’Grady left us and we know how just much he was deeply loved.

In this deeply personal and revealing biography: Paul O'Grady - Not The Same Without You, Paul’s longtime collaborator Malcolm Prince draws on two decades of friendship ― and hours of private recordings ― to tell the story of the man behind the icon: the sharp-witted, fiercely loyal, irrepressibly funny, and deeply private individual, known to his close friends as ‘Savage’ ― and to the public, in various guises, as the prime time TV star, the nation’s dog-loving agony uncle, and a Sunday afternoon radio companion.

Malcolm revisits the stages Paul made his own, from the Royal Vauxhall Tavern to the London Palladium; the moments that shaped him; and draws on brand-new interviews with the people who knew him best, including his daughter and grandchildren.

This is a portrait not just of a gifted entertainer, but of a complex, fiercely loyal, and endlessly curious man. 

The new updated paperback version will be published on May 21st - you can pre-order here.
