Why he might be annoying:

    He overdosed on sleeping pills in 1976.
    The media framed the incident as a suicide attempt but it appeared accidental.
    He pulled in his wife Karen ‘Kass’ Prosser as a band member after lead singer Les left.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was a classically trained viola player.
    In 1990, he moved to singing lead for the reunited version of ’The Rollers.’
    He nearly died in 2015 from a viral infection.
    The infection (viral encephalitis) left him dealing with lingering physical after effects and he did not return to performing until past mid-2018.
    He is active in reunion performances.
