Did The Rock Band Placebo ‘Ruin’ This Boy’s Life?
The kid model who was on the cover of Placebo’s rock album is now suing the band and claiming that the publicity forced him to drop out of school.
In an interview with The Times, Mr Fox said: ‘What had happened was my brother had just passed away, and my cousin came up from London to see me.
‘He was a professional photographer, and he took some photographs of my family for his personal use. He brought up all his equipment and got me to do a few poses outside.’
Instead it turned Mr Fox’s life into a nightmare. The album sold phenomenally well and reached number five in the charts. Mr Fox’s face was everywhere.
