Blackbriar 8,569 Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) Some of the rumours about him could just be exactly that....just as with Michael Jackson, who actually started many of the stories about himself. There was the famous episode of changing his name to an unpronounceable symbol, (which simply turned out to be a dispute with his record label). There was the apparent obsession with the colour purple, his statement that "time is a trick" and the suggestion that he went without sleep. He was a Jehovah's Witness, who themselves have some strange beliefs, but if he didnt deliberately build a persona of mystery, he certainly allowed it to happen. All the same, like him or not, he was a very influential and prolific performer. And 57 is no age......... Edited April 22, 2016 by Blackbriar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
