Boom.

You know he's a convicted sex offender?

Quote:
In 2004, Holland was found guilty of attempted rape and several indecent assaults against a 17-year-old male with learning disabilities to whom he had been giving drum lessons.[3] In an interview during the criminal proceedings, Holland revealed that he is bisexual.[4] He was sentenced to eight years in prison. Due to this, Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi chose to replace Holland's drum parts on The 1996 DEP Sessions because he did not want a convicted sex offender appearing on his album.[5] He was scheduled for release in 2012 and was reportedly out by June that year.[6]

In late 2006, Holland, who has steadfastly maintained his innocence, revealed that he is in the process of writing a tell-all autobiography. Writing to Judas Priest biographer Neil Daniels from prison, Holland stated "I was convicted of a crime that I didn't commit, and like so many others in similar situations to the one in which I find myself, an offence that never even existed in the first place...".[7]
