Ian Watkins, the evil former frontman for Lostprohets is dead.

Ian Watkins, the former frontman for Lostprophets who was convicted after engaging in some activities that were horrific beyond belief is dead after he was attacked in prison.

Reports say that he had his throat slashed. He bled out and died within minutes.

Via Britain’s The Sun:

“[Ian] was targeted by another inmate who shanked him in the neck. Guards were nearby and raced to the scene pretty quickly — but there was nothing they could do, and they could not save him. It was a horrific scene, with blood everywhere and alarms and sirens going off. Police and ambulances were called and the whole prison was locked down with all cons confined to their cells.”

This wasn’t the first time Watkins was shanked. The first attack happened back in 2023. Two men have been arrested in this shanking.

I covered his entire case in my podcast, Uncharted: Crime and Mayhem in the Music Industry. Go here for more.
