Shropshire's 'karaoke queen' has died just days before her 99th birthday party.
Rose Strickland, a former Britain's Got Talent contestant who is well known for singing in the pubs of Telford, Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton, died on Saturday.
Her final ever performance at The Horseshoe was Frank Sinatra's My Way - which was also the first song she ever sang and her dad's favourite. "We really were expecting her to celebrate receiving the King's telegram because she was so vibrant. She was still going out and having a few Babyshams. Rose's singing could have been brought to a premature end in 2017 - when she was 92 - when she was involved in a car crash. She was travelling in the front passenger seat to a performance at The Beacon in Madeley with her son Dennis and then partner Terry Mabbutt when they were involved in a head-on collision.Rose suffered severe pain to her leg and chest, which meant she was not able to leave her house in Malinslee for three weeks.
