Comedian Alan Carr recalled a funny moment at Paul O'Grady's funeral in April, where the organist played out of tune and the vicar apologized for the issue. Despite the solemn occasion, Julian Clary's eulogy left the church in tears before he addressed the organ incident, saying "Thanks for clearing that up." Carr previously paid tribute to O'Grady's wit and humor, describing him as a true one-off and sharing an anecdote about the star.

O'Grady's husband announced his unexpected death in March, saying he will be greatly missed by loved ones and fans alike.
