No smoke without fire. I heard about the abuse rumors for many years, way before his death. He was very talented but very controlling in life. His wife supposedly got the brunt of it. He was 21 years older than her. He was her mentor, lover, and (perhaps) a strict father figure. Her father was also very strict with her growing up. They say women marry men who subconsciously (or consciously) remind them of their fathers. I will remember them both as bringing joy to me and their public with their music, no matter their private lives behind closed doors.
