Mike Tindall made his first public outing since his father Phil died, attending the Laver Cup, an indoor tennis tournament in London, with wife Zara on Sept. 25. They chatted with Roger Federer. Phil was 80 and had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2003.
On the Sept. 23 episode of his podcast, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, Mike said Phil had “passed away last week.” He thanked Otley Rugby Club in West Yorkshire for holding a moment of silence at its weekend match; the club also included a note about Phil in the programme. Phil played for and captained Otley in the 1970s.
Mike frequently took part in charity events to raise money and awareness for Parkinson’s. In 2020, he said his father’s disease had worsened and that he had seen him deteriorate over the preceding years.
