Feel what you feel. I sincerely don't imagine he needs your sympathy though. Or anyone's for that matter.
Anyway, he's been a friend of the family for over 30 years and we're all proud as punch of him. Nice guy.
Well, easy to shout from the touch line. He's a talented bloke who is very much in demand as a songwriter. His band still tours all over the world and he's an extremely content bloke who makes a living doing what he loves and is a very good bloke with it.
To be honest from your previous posts on...
That wasn't his finest moment, although he was sticking up for his wife. However, I'm good friends with Preston and I can confirm he does very well from penning songs for other artists that have all done very well. I can also confirm he's a thoroughly nice bloke.
