John Henry was a comedian who became the first UK radio star in the 1920s thanks to the then new BBC. He appeared with his stage "wife" Blossom (Gladys Horridge). They became lovers in real life but sadly Gladys died in March 1932, and a month later, unable to cope with her death, John Henry took his own life.
