It was a bittersweet day for legendary crooner Engelbert Humperdinck, as he marked what would have been another wedding anniversary with his late wife, Patricia Healey. In a heartfelt message shared with fans, the 89-year-old singer opened up about the deep sense of loss he still feels every single day since her passing in 2021. “Not a day goes by that I don’t think of her,” Humperdinck wrote. “She was my world — my strength, my comfort, and my forever love.”
Engelbert and Patricia’s love story began in the 1950s, long before fame and fortune found him. They married in 1964 and spent more than five decades together, building a life grounded in devotion and resilience.

When she passed away peacefully in February 2021, he described the moment as “beautiful and heartbreaking,” saying she left the world “surrounded by love and music.”
On this latest anniversary, the singer shared that he still feels her presence through music, nature, and the quiet moments of reflection that fill his days. “I talk to her every night,” he revealed. “And somehow, I always feel she’s listening.” Fans from around the world flooded social media with messages of comfort, reminding Humperdinck that his enduring love for Patricia continues to inspire millions.
Now, even as he continues to perform and record new music, Engelbert admits that every song carries a little piece of her memory. “Love doesn’t end,” he wrote. “It just changes form. She’s still with me — in every note, every prayer, and every heartbeat.”
For Engelbert Humperdinck, time may have moved forward, but the melody of their love still plays on — eternal, tender, and true.
