Anyhow, I have just watched this interview he did with Peter Noone,which is brilliant,and will make you smile.☺️( And he hasn't been on rum and coke👌)....

Unshaven, slurred speech, sitting on his Lazyboy in his bathrobe. I lasted one minute. Classless.

Unshaven, slurred speech, sitting on his Lazyboy in his bathrobe. I lasted one minute. Classless. 😰I actually just asked his ' friend' Caswell to take this down if he is a true friend. ..I was really worried by the time it neared the end .Terry broke down in tears, and not in a good way. The guy was off his head, physically in a bad way, and mentally too. Caswell Cooke had tried to do a lovely thing to celebrate Terry's birthday, but ,as Terry warned in the first couple of minutes, he had been ' a naughty boy today' ,and ' this will be ugly'..... And it was. Total misfire,which should not be out there to see. He's reached a serious danger point with recent losses etc on top of not exactly being in a good place, let's say. I hope the guy does the right thing , ultimately, for his friend, after listening and watching it back. His jokes around Terry's drinking near the end were totally inappropriate, and a true friend would recognise that it's gone beyond that now...I seriously fear for Terry... |

Yeah, he's more than a bit on the tipsy and vulgar side which isn't great, but there were some fun moments like the Gerry Marsden story and looking through the old pics. I hope he has a great birthday 🎂🎉 but I am quite worried about how he was here too...

The only,only nice thing was his commitment on Allan Clarke,when they showed pic from Hollies in 70's ish
" The best singer I've ever,ever heard. The best singer,ever. When I heard him sing ' He ain't heavy', he was standing next to me,and I was doing the harmonies... I've never heard a voice like absolute genius,genius,

This absolute train wreck of an interview made me question that old saying, 'there's no such thing as bad publicity'. Embarrassing to the point of 'I really wish I hadn't seen this!'
Bad enough the whole miserable program reeks of amateur-hour production quality. Far, far worse is the pathetic old piss-tank being interviewed! Looks to me like Sylvester has just about hit rock bottom. I dread to think what his future holds. Sad!

Haha, thanks for the advice (think I'll have an afternoon nap instead!). EDIT: Just watched bits of it. He both looks and sounds like an old dosser ("a homeless bum" for you Americans). Very sad indeed. |

Hard to believe that is what is left of Terry Sylvester now !
so very sad....
The guy needs to be checked into serious rehab asap
- as others stated the recent successions of fellow artists passing away, most recently Gerry, plus his own family losses, looks to be having a very bad effect together with his seemingly incessant drinking - and that probably accounts for MUCH of his online rantings and bile in the last years
To hear Terry praise up Allan Clarke so highly (the 'old' Terry - The Hollies fine group ambassador shining through for a moment) was very moving....while we know Allan recently praised up Terry's high harmony singing which just leaves you feeling so helpless as clearly deep down the old group links ARE still there within them but buried under later 'issues'
in some ways you feel as if you would like to turn the whole thing off BEFORE they all began falling out and drifting apart...
whatever, Terry clearly needs help badly, just hope his TRUE friends (not hanger on sycophants forever telling him how wonderful he is) can support the guy before it's too late...

I've notice he's backed off on the "Clarkey the druggie" comments ever since Allan praised his singing in recent interviews. Thank glob. |

I'm seeing a parallel with Ringo Starr here as he had a heavy alcohol problem for many years until the late 80's and when one sees a list of the stars he was friends with who died during that time, I think that affected and upset him so deeply, he sought solace in the bottle. Terry is now seeing people he's known most of his life pass away one by one, holed up living alone, clearly drinking far too much... we've been watching a tragedy unfold and sounds like he is in definite need of help as it appears this new "interview" which I daren't watch is him sinking to new low depths. |

I’m with Sandy, hopefully the guy takes down this interview, if anything it looks like they are just making a fool of him, after a minute you know what state he was in, Baz is spot on the guys he has known grew up with started to find fame with are all going, then again as we get older that happens to all of us. The one good thing is the praise he had for Allan, I honestly thought he would pay out on all his former band mates. Sadly looks like Terry need good people around him not hangers on living on his past fame. In many ways it would be great if Terry did write a book, no rants tho, just his story, gee it would be so interesting.

That does appear to be the only positive thing about this "interview" and its a relief his unwarranted spiteful attacks on Allan have died down. He must know deep down if it wasn't for Allan and The Hollies he wouldn't have had the amazing career he's had. Depressing then it seems he's hitting rock bottom in his life and I agree that the interview should be taken down if the guy had any respect for Terry and his condition. That's why I've chosen not to watch it which is a shame as I would have liked to have heard what he had to say about Gerry Marsden. I do think and feel being unable to perform isn't helping Terry at all... he wasn't performing too often before the Covid thing came along but I too am feeling the pain and anguish as a performer but am lucky I have a keyworker job to keep me going whereas Terry, all that time on his own, not performing nor seeming to do anything much... not healthy at all so am sure that's adding to his inner dilemma as well. |

Seems like it has been removed, wrongly in my opinion (it's a public appearance that Terry agreed to, not hidden camera footage!). I'm sure people have saved it though...

Pre agreed yes,but Terry was in no state to consent to it being put up on the actual day,and as his friend, the responsible and human thing to do,after re watching it, was for the guy to to take it down. If Terry had seen it when ' feeling better', I'm sure he would not want anyone to witness one of his darkest moments online,like a car crash video come back to haunt him forever? That certainly wouldn't be in his best interests right now. I did watch it,yes...I was a huge fan, and wanted it desperately to be at least glimpses of the old Terry, but I certainly would never revisit it, let alone keep it..... Anyway, on to better things,hey? So when do we think Allan may have a new album out?😉😉😉🤞🤞🤞🤞 |
