THE wife of one of paedophile rocker Ian Watkins' ex-bandmates has spoken of the "curse" of the Lostprophets frontman's crimes.
Syirin Said, who has been married to guitarist Lee Gaze for 17 years, said the band's name is never mentioned at home.
Lostprophets disbanded in 2013 when singer Watkins was arrested for child sex crimes and jailed for 29 years.
He died aged 48 at HMP Wakefield on Saturday.
Two men are charged with murder.
