Who the feck is Lizzo?

It sounds like a nickname Ole would give Lisandro Martinez if he was still manager.

And yet still likely not the worst review he's received in his career.

I used to listen to "start Something" quite a lot back in the early 00s, but since his crimes became public knowledge I just couldn't bear listening to his voice any more. Many people say you're supposed to be able to separate the art from the artist, but when the artist is such an awful scumbag and his "art" is not that great to begin with then it's an easy choice not to. I even got rid of all his music, both the digital files and the couple of original CDs I had.

Same with me regarding Michael Jackson and R. Kelly. I cannot listen to anything by them without feeling physically sick.

Was one of my favourite bands back in the day, I went to see them loads of times, but one time I went to see them to support the Liberation Transmission album at Brixton Academy,
I was the only person getting served at the bar due to age.
Was also the only gig I've ever been too where parents were waiting for their kids outside afterwards...

Stands to reason why that would be now...

Haven't listened to them since he was arrested either.

It’s mainly because their music was aimed at teenagers

So we're many other bands I saw at that period, yet that was by far the youngest crowd I'd ever seen at a gig,
I was literally the only one being served at the bar :lol:

How the feck do you avoid jail-time for this type of thing?

I actually find it more surprising when they get prison time.
Almost every time I see these stories they seem to get a suspended sentence or a couple of months behind bars.
