Former East 17 star Brian Harvey smashes platinum sales discs in outburst against music industry💯✌🏽 💯

Life is full of tremendous highs and brutal lows. No more than in the music business. Take the case of Brian Harvey for example. In the early 90s he was the lead singer of the group East 17 and riding high in pop music in the UK. His voice was soulful & melodic his notes captivated crowds and made him a favourite with the female audience. Life seemingly could get no better but one ill fated comment can change everything and it did.

East 17 THEN [90’s] 💯✌🏽 💯
Since then it’s been an industry wide shut down for him. Attempts to regain that fire has extinguished at every turn.
In 2004 selected for ITV1 programme I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in Australia but left as his grandmother died when he was travelling to appear on the show.

On 17 March 2007, Harvey performed a song entitled “I Can” for Making Your Mind Up, the UK’s national final for the

Eurovision Song Contest The song was written by singer Conner Reeves. Harvey was eliminated after the first round of voting and the eventual winners were Scooch.

Fast forward to just the other day (January 2015) Harvey posted a video of himself smashing up his platinum discs he was awarded during his time with East – 17.
Brian is highly vexed and is heard ranting”This is what I think of you all. Fu*k your record industry, and f*ck your weird pedophile world”,
The man is clearly on a low or perhaps he just detests the industry with a furious passion. The ups and downs Huh.
Browse the video to see his fury lol
