Yeah, at the height of his alcoholism. He’s openly regretted ever since, and while a lot of his black contemporaries rightly shunned him at the time, a lot still stood by him and forgave him. He’s gone the right way in trying to continue to repair that damage (if he could ever truly repair it)
The only people that seem to have not forgiven are people who only found out about all this during Covid and ignore the fact that his alcoholism and addiction problems being a contributing factor to that behaviour as prior to that point he had been pretty sound. His dark days most definitely, that will forever linger and be attached to his legacy. There are many an artist from that era who didn’t cover themselves in glory.
His music went to shit after 461 Ocean Boulevard anyway.
