Darren Orme: Russell Watson pays tribute to Wigan Athletic fan
Singing superstar Russell Watson paid tribute to Darren Orme during his concert in Wigan.
The 54-year-old Latics superfan vanished on the evening of Wednesday March 5, prompting a major police investigation and a huge public response.
Sadly, 19 days later, Darren’s body was found not far from The Brick Community Stadium, which he loyally attended over the years as a Wigan Athletic fan.
During tenor Russell’s performance organised by Leisuretec UK Ltd at The Edge, attended by Darren’s family, he dedicated his final song to him.
He said: “We have the family of Darren Orme in this evening.
"A lovely young man who was a big fan of Wigan Athletic and who has sadly passed away.
"Loved by the local community and I think we can all safely say he is very very dearly missed.
"With that said I will leave you with this: the song is called Someone to Remember Me."
Russell also took time to speak to Darren’s family after the show.
