His difficult personality means that he doesn't get as many bookings as he could. He states that EMI owes him royalties and I believe this - they are known for withholding such monies from artistes. When touring, stars such as Proby have to pay expenses such as a driver, backing group, fuel, food, dry cleaning stage outfits etc. etc. Proby isn't a crook; he doesn't drive fancy cars or live in a mansion - he rents a modest home near Evesham There is rent to pay when he isn't working - does anyone take this into account? I imagine his circum-stances constantly change. It would be unjust to lock up a 73-year old for this.DDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04609793783058635497noreply@blogger.com
