Did a hero of yours ever fall from grace in your eyes, and why?

Shane MacGowan for me.

I used to adore the Pogues, but made the mistake of reading his 2002 autobiography 'A Drink with Shane MacGowan'...

He came across as such an insufferable shit, I can't even bear to listen to them any more...

Johnny Morris. It turned out he never could talk to the animals. Absolute bullshitter.

Scott Weiland for me.

I used to adore Stone Temple Pilots & Velvet Revolver, but made the mistake of reading his 2011 autobiography 'Not Dead And Not For Sale'...

He came across as such an insufferable shit, and despite the title of his book, he is now very much dead and for sale.

Des Lynam - After he joined ITV in 1999, it was just never the same for me.

I wouldn't say he reached hero status, but I learned a lot about being an editor and really warmed to Piers Morgan from reading 'The Insider' (I'm talking about YEARS ago, before he was 'famous', or should that be infamous?).

Sadly, we all know what's happened to him since and he continues to fall down in my estimations. In fact, scrap that, he already hit rock bottom a while ago.

Yep, an Albion legend. NEVER become friends with your hero. One of my big regrets.
