BOLTON illusionist Richard De Vere has died suddenly while on holiday in Thailand.
Details have yet to be released as to the cause of death of the 46-year-old entertainer, who learned his craft while a schoolboy in Bolton.
Richard, whose Mystique show ran for many years at the Pleasure Beach, in Blackpool, had been due to begin a new engagement this year at Viva showbar.
In a statement, the Pleasure Beach said: “It is with deep sadness we have to confirm that Richard De Vere has unfortunately passed away while on vacation.
“We are obviously very shocked, sad and offer our deepest sympathies to Richard’s family, his partner and friends — simply a lovely gentlemen and talent who has left us far too early in his journey in life.”..
