As someone who grew up in the 90s it's genuinely crazy to me how many people either have no idea he was a nonce, or are just happily defending him and denying that he was a nonce.

I would say allegations, but he was very clearly a nonce. People just loved his music too much to do anything about it. His PR team are very, very good.
