Was he really a rubbish singer? Don't know because never heard him sing. Wouldn't you think out of the 20 odd years we would have heard at least one line. Maybe there is
From everything I've heard, he simply didn't have a very good range and sounded more like he was 'talking' the notes than anything. I've heard bits of him where he was more on key than this.

I'd say that's Spike singing, not John. They had long ago made the decision that John wouldn't ever sing on stage!
Interesting, where'd ya get that from?
Just a logical conclusion. They probably listened to the audio of Earls Court, and told John never to sing again! He isn't heard on any later recording.
