    Didn't see that coming. Doesn't really fit the stereotype at all, but goes to show that you just never know (if he is deemed guilty that is)

    Well, reading between.the lines, I'd say that he and two women (20 and 24) have had sex with a borderline under-age groupy, maybe oblivious to her true age.....? Still a stupid mistake to make!

    Reading the BBC it seems a lot more than that.

    "He is charged with conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a female under 13 and possession/distribution of indecent images of children."

    In that case, string him up!

  • Pretty surprised to say the least. But just reiterates the fact that just because someone could write good music doesn't mean they're a hero in their person.

    Really average band. Never liked them, not too fussed but if the allegations are true, just another reason to not like them

    First 2 albums were decent though. He always came across as a bit of a tool in interviews though.

    It's so confusing though - this is a decent looking lad in his thirties who is probably adored by 99% of all birds that go and watch him live, of which there are a hell of a lot of (they've headlined Reading Festival a couple of times I think).

    Not a big fan of the cliche, but "he could have anyone he wanted" springs to mind. Really don't get it.

    They've played a few times, they haven't headlined. Actually spoke to him last time they played it.

    Friend of mine is/was a huge fan (pretty much a groupie if I'm honest) and knew (almost certainly in the Biblical sense) him personally and had absolutely no idea about this. She's completely stunned today.

    I'm sure if he could "choose" he'd be attracted to overage birds, but this sort of thing is a mental disease and I highly doubt there's a cure for it.

    Even if this is the case he had the choice whether to follow through with his actions or not.

    One year old? If true, he needs castrating and then torturing slowly to death, although at that point the castration is admittedly superfluous.
