Lostprophets Would Have Killed Singer Over Child Sex Crimes

(Classic Rock) Former Lostprophets guitarist Lee Gaze says that singer Ian Watkins would have been "killed on the spot" if he had come clean about his child sex offences.

The remaining members of the band - Gaze, fellow guitarist Mike Lewis, keyboard player Jamie Oliver, drummer Luke Johnson and bass player Stuart Richardson - have started a new band called No Devotion, featuring Geoff Rickly on vocals.

But despite trying to make a fresh start in the industry, the musicians know they will always be associated with and asked about Watkins, who last year was jailed for 35 years for a string of child sex offences.

They are often asked how they could not have known what Watkins was up to. Gaze tells the BBC: "How could you know? How would you know? Who would disclose such a thing to five people, who between them have eight children? You just wouldn't because they would be killed on the spot." more on this story
