Unfortunately love wasn't the only thing he was addicted to.

You can't blame the guy, sometimes things are 'simply irresistable'.

Enter the AD-FREE zone

Despite his chart success he shunned the rock 'n' roll lifestyle. "I loved the music, but the excesses of rock 'n' roll never really appealed to me at all," The Associated Press quoted him as saying.

"I couldn't see the point of getting up in front of a lot of people when you weren't in control of your wits."



Sounds like he was clean, to me.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

The name didn't ring a bell. I had to look at the BBC article to figure out who he was.

A guy on another forum confused him with Robert Plant.

Heart attacks don't equal drug abuse.

Robert Palmer was a favorite of mine.

The way he dressed was completely at odds with the way he sang. Which of course was part of his charm.

Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

Sadly, Robert Palmer had a continuing drug abuse problem through most of his career. While I've had no contact with him since the late 90s, I can testify that his personal manager advised me to steer clear of associating my company with Palmer for that specific reason.

His creative contributions were significant and will be missed.

But his denial of "the excesses" of the rock lifestyle were, unfortunately, just that -- denial, nothing more.

Well it seems as if he'll no longer sing "this joke was doomed to bland idiocy from the start" any longer...

(Just assuming that was a lyrical piece of his)
