I used to be a big fan of R Kelly. I respect him as an artist, but as a person – I dunno, I have my doubts. Even as an artist, he’ll have to do something magnificent to make me forget.Do you know anyone else who's stopped listening to his music?
Yeah, I have friends who don’t listen to his music because of what happened between him and the young girl.

No, because I’m not thinking about the artist when I’m listening to a song I like, I just focus on the song.You're able to forget about whatever horrible crime they've committed?
Maybe not, but their personality just wouldn't come into my mind when I'm listening to their music.

No, not Michael Jackson – I still listen to him.Because his music is great?
Yeah, and none of that stuff was proven – he was just a bit odd, I think.What about Gary Glitter?
No, but I’d never even listen to Gary Glitter in the first place. If they're found to be guilty of the crime, you can't help but think of what they've done when you're listening to their music.

If it was proven I wouldn’t necessarily stop. I would think about it, maybe.What if the crime was really awful?
If they were accused of something awful and it was proven, I would certainly think about not listening, yeah.Okay. That's very pragmatic of you.Previously - What Was Your Greatest Achievement at 15 Years Old?
