The shocking death of Ian Watkins, former frontman of the Welsh rock band Lostprophets, has brought a grim end to one of the most disturbing downfalls in modern British music.
Watkins, once a chart-topping star adored by millions of fans around the world, was killed inside HMP Wakefield on Saturday, 11 October, after a brutal attack by fellow inmates, the Rolling Stone reported. He was 48 and serving a 29-year sentence for child sex crimes so horrific that the judge who sentenced him described them as plumbing 'new depths of depravity'.
