He said that sometimes he didn’t want to be this sex-loving, club-hopping star bur wanted to ‘just be Robert, the God loving family man (Kelly has three children from his marriage which dissolved at the start of the year). I remember reading an interview with him in Q magazine a few years back when he discussed the trouble he has in living with the R. One of the most interesting things about him professionally is his willingness to reveal so much about himself. He has managed to ride the waves of controversy that have dogged his career and still remains one of the biggest selling artists in America today. Whatever you think about his music, it’s impossible to deny the fact that Robert Sylvester Kelly is one of the most fascinating characters in music today. People still love Annie Hall and Chinatown regardless of the directors predilections, right? However, I feel that as hard as it can be to do so, we have to separate the personal life from the material the artist produces. And R had known her since she was twelve.
