    Lost Prophets = Band
    Watkins = Lead vocals of said band

    I like Lost Prophets' music but know nothing of the band members. I definitely don't care to know anything more now. That's disgusting.

    A cursory glance of the first post could glean that much. Who? Always comes in when said post is written like everyone should now who some small time British band is.

    This annoys cause I wanted to see them live...not sure if they will stay as the band or get a new singer, but I don't want to see them if Ian is with them.

    I can't see the band lasting under the name Lostprophets. Even if Watkins is found innocent (which I sincerely doubt) or they get a new singer the name of the band is probably never going to escape this stigma.

    I know, it just bugs me. The implication of "Who?" is more of a "I don't care", than a "please inform me, in detail, of who this person is".

    If someone really doesn't know, use google.

    I have one or two friends at work who are/where huge fans and they are gutted and heartbroken. One of my friends at work has even met the band. I wasn't that much of a fan of there music before this but I always respected that they managed to get past those accusations of being a nu-metal boyband early in there career and go on to sell quite a few records here in the UK and in the USA but this has truly surprised me, he even had a celebrity girlfriend at one point. The idea that anyone would want to do that, is gross and disgusting. They arrested two women as well, seriously this story is really messed up and another grim December news story

    One point I think should be made I know he looks seriously guilty and if he is found guilty he should be punished hard but he technically hasn't been found guilty yet so maybe we should not completely judge him just yet
