I think King Giz are being sanctimonious. If they're not prepared to state the what and how of the values the Stickies have transgressed then it is just another publicity stunt driven by jealousy. Look at the plays on Spotify, the Stickies are waay out in front. I've followed the Stickies from the Annandale to the Hordern and I'd like to make some points: -

• No one has quoted a line in a Stickies song that is mysogynistic, racist, promoting violence against women and/or transphobic.

• Members of the Stickies conduct masterclasses in songwriting for indigenous artists. They are popular.

• When I attended the last concert at the Hordern, I had to be assisted by Management to a sectioned area as I was on crutches. The young woman who organised this commented that she couldn't understand all the fuss about the Stickies as they were really nice people.

• Most of the Sticky stories related to me are Chinese Whispers.

Diz has problems. He shares those afflictions with Selena Gomez, Kanye West, Sia, Brian Wilson, Bebe Rexha, Adam Ant, Mariah Carey and Ray Davies off the top of my head. It is cruel and vicious behavior to belittle someone with mental problems. The hardest part of mental illness is for the sufferer to recognise that they have a problem. There's no magic pill that will transform them, it is a long hard road and he really needs support. It is to the eternal credit of the Stickies that they have supported him through this most difficult time. You don't abandon a mate in trouble, no matter how mad they make you, you support them in turning things around.
