Every photo and every video post covid I see that has Simon in it and he does NOT have a drink in his hands in those photos or videos. Therefore, I think we can assume that his weight gain is NOT due to his drinking, because it’s the photos on the internet that determine whether or not a persons weight gain is due to drinking in photos. Stay healthy Simon!!! I suggest you go back to all the photos and video when he was in LA...the stip mall in Malibu he had a pint in his hand raising it up with Nick Wood....so right there you are wrong! There were many posted on Instagram and FB by many fans--here is one precovid...when he was in LA back in early April he was at every restaurant and bar with a drink in his hands or next to him on the table. There is a pic of him meeting Nick Wood at a strip mall and he is drinking a pint raising it up...as a matter of fact he and Nick are always drinking a pint when they meet up! Possibly a tradition among them? The one in Spain/Ibizia has the short version--there is a long version out there and he had a drink in his hands...I will try and find them--I saw them and will post them when I have time... If you look closely on the table by Simon there is a glass with most likely whiskey or adult beverage! Clearly he was inebriated when he went up to sing HLTW! Are you a teetotaler? Your comments in this thread are some of the most judgmental that I’ve read on this board! I mean, do you have some inside info that we aren’t aware of? Did John specifically tell you that he got diabetes from COVID? Has John even confirmed that he has diabetes? Yeah, I know he was wearing a bg monitor on stage, but again, has John himself confirmed it?!? As for Simon’s drinking…you cannot infer that he has a problem just from photos! Again, do you have some inside info that we aren’t aware of? Are you personally around Simon 24/7? FYI, moderate drinking is defined as 2 drinks per day for men. Unless you’re around him in person 24/7, you cannot possibly say he has a problem. FYI, from what I’ve always heard, it’s Nick with the drinking problem…🤷♀️ And even with that, I take it with a grain of salt. You really have no right to make all these baseless assumptions about the guys and their health. That’s between them, their doctors, and their family. And from what I know about Englishmen, and I’m married to one, is that many like their drink. Mine is substantially older than me and drinks 1-2 alcoholic beverages a day. He doesn’t get drunk - he just likes a drink to go with his dinner and maybe a sip of scotch before bed. Again, under health guidelines, that is moderate drinking. And yeah, there are definitely some nights where he doesn’t have anything. He’s incredibly healthy, not overweight (if anything, he’s borderline underweight), and has no health problems due to drinking. He’s not even on any prescription meds. He was a firefighter for over 40 years and was a chain smoker starting in his teens up until about 30 years ago. So who’s to say that Simon isn’t just a moderate drinker? And even if he is more than a moderate drinker, that’s none of our business. And that video of Simon singing? You really think he’s inebriated? LMAO. You must be joking! There are no indications in that video that he’s even remotely buzzed. So, my point is, again, that you have no right to be making assumptions about any of the band members and their health. Even perfectly healthy people can drop dead unexpectedly, and that’s what it sounds like happened with Fletch. We are just incredibly lucky that none of DD have left us.

John said his diagnosis was due to poor lifestyle choices, not covid.
And Simon hasn’t had a drink in his hands in every photo since the pandemic.
Andre you’ve hijacked Fletchers topic with your false information spam.

Again I was responding to Poptrash! Asteroid said there was no proof I gave the proof! I don’t owe you or anyone an explanation! You can make the case that Simon’s weight gain is due to his alcohol consumption as many besides myself have brought this up in the past on previous posts! Please do keep up with the previous posts in this link! We all care about Simon and want them to ALL to be as healthy as possible so they can continue to make more music and entertain all their fans!!!

Andre you’ve hijacked Fletchers topic with your false information spam. Thanks for the info. I hadn’t heard that John had addressed it. Is there an interview or anything floating around where he talks about it? (Asking because others have asked me) And yea, pretty sad to poop on a thread meant as a memorial to a much loved, well respected musician.

There is an interview with JT talking about it, I can’t remember off by head, surely someone will have the link to it.

In fact, the video of Simon shows that he’s most likely NOT drunk. 🙄 You cannot make the case that his weight gain is due to alcohol. Simon said he baked sourdough bread during the pandemic. Maybe he had too many effing carbs from bread. He’s also in his 60s. Cut him some slack. You just can’t face that all your arguments are based on assumptions and not fact.

Asteroidk said he never had a drink in his hand post Covid ! The holiday in Ibiza is post Covid him meeting Nick Wood in LA this past April is post Covid sharing a pint! And I have it on good authority that he was inebriated at the restaurant! So take it with a grain of salt like you said…
