Loved Beetle as a kid. Killer Diller and Sarge made me laugh.

US actor Mark Salling, who had pleaded guilty to possessing child sex abuse images, has been found dead in an apparent suicide, US media say. Reports say the actor, known for his role in the TV series Glee, was found dead near his home in Los Angeles. The 35-year-old was expected to get between four and seven years in prison after investigators found thousands of images on his laptop and hard drive. He played football player Noah "Puck" Puckerman on Glee from 2009 to 2015. He entered into a plea deal last October, avoiding a lengthier sentence of up to 20 years. He was arrested in 2015 after a tip-off that he was in possession of images of children being sexually abused.

They picked him up and frog-marched to the venue, when there having a job to convince the bouncer that he was the lead signer for the band, but eventually the promotor verified that it was Mr. Smith and took him in. We were not expecting the greatest of gigs but just about a hour and half later he delivered a storming set.......Rock legend but perhaps not the best lifestyle guru!

The same thing happened when he played in Hull except he didn't deliver a storming set. 2 lads had travelled from Grimsby, went in town for a couple before the gig & found him wankered, took him in a taxi to the gig, he pissed himself in the taxi, collapsed backstage & eventually appeared at about 11.15, did 20 minutes & walked off. The owner of the venue had to give most of the audience thier money back or the full band were going to get filled in.

Paul Westerberg of The Replacements did the same thing at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, he was three sheets into the wind, and eventually got a bit sober to perform. Ultimately if you ask any psychologist as to these similiar patterns of behavior they would most likely say "Fear of Success"
