Cilla Black and secret illness prior to her death
Following her death, a close pal of the star, Terry McCann, appeared on BBC News.
Speaking of Cilla, he admitted that he wasn’t surprised that she’d sadly passed away.
“I wasn’t surprised when I found out she had died. The last thing she said to me was she was going blind, she showed me her hands, she had arthritis. She willed herself to die. She said: ‘Bobby’s waiting for me’,” he revealed.
