Bummer: Rock Star Threeway Ends In Suicide

Posted by Bryan Christian


These are the survivors of the threeway -- in case you weren't sure. 

 

Hate to harsh your sex buzz today, but we've got a little piece of advice: turns out letting your wife sleep with your rock'n'roll idol isn't always the best idea -- even if you get to be in on the action.

A devoted Status Quo fan who plunged into depression after his wife left him for guitarist Rick Parfitt has hanged himself at home, it emerged today.

[...]

In 1995, a day after marrying [former wife] Angie, [Nigel Hewitt] introduced his new bride to his hero at a Quo gig in Birmingham, where Rick flirted with her.

But it wasn't until December 2003 that, astonishingly, Mr Hewitt agreed to let Rick sleep with his wife - as long as he could join in.

Afterwards Angie lost interest in her husband and started spending more time with Rick. Eventually they split up.

Is there a lesson to be learned here? We don't know. We always thought threeways with rock stars were, like, a Platonic good. Straight spouse swaps are still cool, though, right? Dean?
