This biography article doesn't follow chronologically. Some of the albums.. I'm not sure what were wikified improperly, leading readers to the wrong places. Please help and tag it for multiple problems that need attention. Also, the text should be expanded, and it needs new references. To mention his drug problems before his youth is really backward! I just added the infobox and a photo, and unfortunately don't have the time to spend on it.--Leahtwosaints (talk) 00:07, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The article begins by saying that he is "best known as a double bassist and businessman", but there's nothing about his business career; it says that he owns a mansion, which presumably wasn't paid for with session work, so what is his day job? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 20:10, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As there's still no sign of any explanation of why he's a "businessman," I'm going to delete that. 850 C (talk) 17:13, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
