Gerry and the Pacemakers star Gerry Marsden, whose version of You’ll Never Walk Alone was Liverpool Football Club’s anthem, dies aged 78
Gerry Marsden, lead singer of the British band Gerry and the Pacemakers, whose version of You’ll Never Walk Alone became the thunderously sung anthem for Liverpool Football Club, has died aged 78.
“It’s with a very heavy heart after speaking to the family that I have to tell you the Legendary Gerry Marsden MBE after a short illness which was an infection in his heart has sadly passed away,” Marsden’s friend and radio broadcaster, Pete Price, posted on Twitter on Sunday.
Marsden formed the band in 1959 and enjoyed chart success in subsequent decades as part of Liverpool’s Merseybeat movement that included contemporaries such as The Beatles.
