My best mate showed me one of his videos yesterday (he was a real die-hard East 17 fan back in the day!). I was totally unaware of all the scandals surrounding him (his twisted government theories, alledged phone-hacking, paedophilia claims, etc). He also claims to have had numerous death threats.
I used to think he was a cocky gobshite, but having watched the video, I was impressed with how knowledgeable and eloquent he was. A far cry from how I remembered him (bit of a knob!).
He’s obviously managed to squander all the cash he made whilst in the band, I’m sure my mate said he was skint and now claims benefits. How does that even happen .. East 17 must’ve sold millions of records
He’s apparently made a video diary of his time in a mental health ward (I believe the same hospital that Frank Bruno was admitted to). I’ll definitely be watching that video once he’s posted it, as I have family/friends who have recently been admitted into NHS hospitals for various mental health support (I have nothing but the highest praise for the staff that my loved ones are in the care of though ).
What’s everyone else’s opinions on him?
