SIR Paul McCartney led tributes tonight after fellow Merseyside pop icon Gerry Marsden died aged 78.

The 60's pop icon and his band, Gerry and the Pacemakers, were behind hits like You'll Never Walk Alone, Ferry Cross The Mersey, I'll Be There, How Do You Do It? and I Like It.
He went into hospital on Boxing Day after tests showed he had a serious blood infection that had travelled to his heart, as his family say they are "devastated".

Leading the tributes, Sir Paul McCartney said: "My sympathies go to his wife Pauline and family. See ya, Gerry. I'll always remember you with a smile. - Paul."

Gerry shot to fame fronting the 1960s Merseybeat band as they toured the Liverpool music scene at the same time as The Beatles.

He explained: "Gerry was a mate from our early days in Liverpool. He and his group were our biggest rivals on the local scene.


"His unforgettable performances of You’ll Never Walk Alone and Ferry Cross the Mersey remain in many people’s hearts as reminders of a joyful time in British music…"

Sir Ringo Starr tweeted: "God bless Jerry marsden peace and love to all his family." He then tweeted: "Gerry. Gerry."

His daughter Yvette Marbeck said: "My sister Vicky and myself have always been very, very proud of dad.

"He has always been a good man. He had his feet on the ground. He made us laugh every single day. He was our hero, wonderful.

"Yvette added: "It was a very short illness and too quick to comprehend really.

"And his heart has taken some battering over the years. He had a triple bypass, an aortic valve replacement and ironically he also had a pacemaker.
