I know the cut from the video doesn't show the full thing but it shows how far he fell as a musician due to alcoholism. Call 1-800-662-HELP (4357) if you're struggling with drinking.

Do we really need to drag his memory by posting videos like this? "Rest In Peace", you say, while not letting him rest in peace.....

I respect him, but at the same time it’s perfect comedic timing on so many levels- there’s something ridiculous happening every second of the video. It’s also a warning for how low you can go when you drink regularly.

I think it’s incredibly disrespectful to post this. The man died of what you see in the video- alcoholism. Saying RIP or posting the AA number doesn’t make you less wrong for posting this. You should feel badly.

He was an abusive piece of crap who drank and let his fans and bandmates down. I honestly don’t feel bad for him after a certain point.

Is this the one that died recently? I heard they fell from grace but never read much into it

His child died after the fame from the early 2000s and he took to the bottle to cope. It’s a really sad story. Steve Harrell
