BASSEY HAILS PILOT A HERO
Veteran singer DAME SHIRLEY BASSEY has heaped praise on helicopter pilot JEREMY PAXTON, branding him "a hero" who saved her life.
Paxton was flying the singer from the Glastonbury Festival in south west England to London on Sunday (24Jun07) when the chopper suffered a mechanical failure in bad weather and almost hit treetops and telephone cables - before making a successful emergency landing.
Bassey says, "The pilot acted brilliantly. He made absolutely the right decision." Paxton adds, "I didn’t want to be remembered as the man who killed a superstar. Had I ploughed on, there could have been deaths."
