Michael ‘BigLad’ Burgess-Shaw

Donation protected
Michael (aka BigLad).

Michael sadly passed away on Saturday. Helen and the family all spent time with him and were able to say their goodbyes.

Michael was sooo well known and LOVED, especially in the West End and in the wider theatrical industry. You only need to look at his Facebook to see the outpouring of love, sharing of stories and admiration that hundreds of people have posted.

Helen met the LOVE of her life in Michael (aka Big Bab) and they have been married for just over 18 months.

Please can you show your love by helping Helen give Michael the send off he deserves and reduce the ongoing financial pressures that she is left with, along with the “big lad” shaped whole that has been left in all of our lives.

with the current cost of living crisis and the average funeral cost of £5k, every bit of support will help, giving Helen time to Grieve without the added financial worries and stay in the home they shared for a little longer.

We all know Michael had such a big heart and would help anyone in need, so please pay back some of his kindness.

Details of the funeral will be added in the coming days, but for those who cannot travel to his home town of Stourbridge in the Midlands, there will be a memorial celebration which will be held in London at a later date.

Thank you for all your love and support showed to Helen and the family at this difficult time. Please feel free to share this link along with your wonderful memories and stories of the “LEGEND” Michael (BigLad) Burgess-Shaw. ❤️
