Rock band FREE blame their ultimate demise on the drug problems of late guitarist PAUL KOSOFF, because their fans ended up pitying them.
Kosoff, who died of a drug-induced heart attack in 1976, frequently let the ALL RIGHT NOW rockers down on stage with his substance-addled performances.
Drummer SIMON KIRKE says, "The feeling of hopelessness was crushing. One example among many was the Royal Albert Hall.
"When we got on stage, whatever he was on kicked in and he spent the whole show playing behind everyone else.
"We should have been booed off but it was as thought the audience was crying with us. You can’t have too many of those kinds of days and we had quite a few.
"His battle with drugs was a millstone which finally helped bury us."

THE WHO frontman ROGER DALTREY insists late band member JOHN ENTWISTLE died in a manner fitting his notorious rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle.
Entwistle died in Las Vegas, Nevada, in June 2002 from a heart attack induced by taking cocaine.
And Daltrey insists the bassist’s death aged 57 was preferable to dying slowly in old age.
He says, "John was John - you could never change him, a real rock ‘n’ roll character and a real rock lifestyle. I mean does it matter, the sudden ending with the line of coke and the hooker in Las Vegas - I mean, is it that bad at 57? "What’s the alternative? The alternative may be very slow and smelly, as GEORGE ORWELL said. All I know is that I f**king miss him."
