Well,
I kinda figured that it was the case when on a VH1 special it came out that he blew all the band's savings on some wackaloon pyramid scheme. I swear, I've seen bird dogs who've lost the scent who've looked less confused.
I believe he didn't get through one song before he passed out on stage and the fans demanded a refund.
Not sure how that brouhaha turned out though.
