Just said same thing to DH - are you watching Stones programme? Just watching some bloke sing 'under my thumb' on a children's programme - really appropriate!

He spent all his dough on cars and coke.

He couldn't keep up the double life and reverted to being Peter Duncan full time.

"My mum loved him and his hats"

I'm only forty and was a whippersnapper when I first saw Jay Kay.

He didn't spend all of his money on cars and coke, he is still very rich.

He had a failed comeback not so long ago. I vaguely remember he was being a smart arse and being very disparaging (sp?) about the evil of xfactor (not an unreasonable stance) but then performed on said evil programme trying to promote himself/his new muzak, and came across as an utter twat in the process. Or something along those lines. I remember the moving sofas video. Ground breaking that was. Ahem.

His first hit was when I was at university. A guy I knew there had been mates with him, and said he was a right sleazy dickhead, getting blowjobs off groupies even before he got famous.

The first time I saw him was on one of those Sunday afternoon T.V shows for young people just waking up and he had only had one or two successful records. He was talking about having two classic cars that he wasn't allowed to drive because he had just lost his licence.

It was

Coke, you say? Grin

Colossal wanker.

I remember his X Factor appearance, none of the judges appluaded him as he'd slagged them all off.

Strange to think he went out with Denise van Outen for years and years.

Argh, C&P fail, it was fresh-faced bollocks-chatting young Jay Kay I meant to link.

Watch him act like a total twat in this clip. Very funny in the end...

You know he's worth £40million?

I don't think he'll be on any reality shows any time soon!

I think he lives in buckinghamshire but I cannot back that up!! I've seen him in Henley a few times.

He lives near us. Also the drummer lives across the lane from us (nice guy,usually mistaken for my dh as they look v similar) and the guy from Sony who discovered him lives in the next village.

It's bloody Jamiroquoivillle Alabama here.

Busy polishing his cars I reckon. And possibly cataloging his hats.

Unless he's really gone OTT on the coke, he's probably living happily off the PRS along with the polishing and cataloguing

I think most people involved in the music industry realise that unless they go on to write or produce for others, they are unlikely to be nailing the charts right up to retirement age. I imagine he probably has an easier life than I do Envy
