After what he was guilty of, I'm surprised he's still alive to this day.

As Corey Taylor said about him “there’s not enough pain in the world for that guy”.

wheres that one cop to accidentally leave the wrong inmate alone with him

The women sending him letters need to be investigated for CP as well...huge red flag

$5000 for a phone, "Lost Profits" indeed

One of the most evil people ive ever heard of.

Honestly doubt he'll survive the 35-year sentence

What he did makes me want to vomit. All those children's lives who he effected and no prison sentence will even out his actions. Incredibly disturbing.

The women still sending him letters should be on a list.

The most disturbing thing about this? That some females STILL are fans of him and send him letters. All of those people should be on the FBI's most wanted list

Can’t say that anyone has any sympathy for him. What you do comes back to you.

£ - is pounds € - is euros

I wish the worst for him.

There is something seriously wrong with these women.

He doesn't deserve to remain alive. I threw up when I first discovered what his crimes were.

The women who contact him should have their hard drives checked.

He got beaten and stabbed over money, not his crimes. That says all you need to know about the morals of people in jail.

Thumbnail makes bro on the right look like he was an edgy teen trying to live on the edge and on the left he looks like some pawnshop owner.

Considering what he did it's amazing he is even alive

Idk why I laughed so hard at the fact that he’s dyeing his hair black in prison. 😂

Oh wheres the popcorn

Daily reminder to support the other former members of Lostprophets! Lee (guitar) and Stu (bass) are still kicking in No Devotion with Thursday singer Geoff Rickly! Lee recently confirmed on Twitter that a 3rd album is in the pipelines for “eventual” release. Luke (drums) also formed a newer group called Lowlives that just released their 2nd album, which is KILLER! Lowlives has a very grungey, Nirvana and Seether-esque vibe

He won’t have the same “protection” outside unless he finds a lowkey home with 24/7 full-staffed security. Edit: as others said, **IF** he can even afford it by then

He's only safe until the money runs out. It's never going to get easier for him so he better manage that money well. And theres not a chance in hell he gets parole. He hasn't learned his lesson and reformed himself in the slightest.

God fuck this guy......... I loved Lost Prophets too. Fuck this still blows bro Thank again For Feeding me the Rock!

Don't abuse kids, is my advice, one thing humans are pretty much all agreed on, I'm even surprised they get protected

Let's be honest, if he even had a shred of decency inside of him, then he would have long since opted to check out of the breathing club.

I guess I am a bit tired, and I thought the title said ‘Ian Watkins released’ and I was about to get prepared to start my villain arc against humanity.

Prison justice at its finest.

What the fu** is wrong with those women sending letters! They need to be looked in to!

Oh no! Anyway...

the only singer who was literally referring to an infant when he said "baby" in his lyrics

The officers who found out about Watkins being kidnapped by his attackers: Oh no, where could he have gone? (Sarcasm)

I must disagree with the guards who said "There are fears he could die." There is only hope for it to happen.

I don't event get the reason behind someone that had the entire world in front of him, to do what he did. It's just so deranged and bizarre.

How does he still have so much money to pay for stuff that's crazy

Fun fact about Lostprophets. When they were on tour with Metallica & Slipknot back in 2004, there was a show in Ireland where Lostprophets was booed and bottled off stage and Watkins threw a fit and mocked the crowd. I don't feel bad for Watkins.

It's not often you see a headline promoting the "Misery" of someone and go, "Oh hell yeah, this ought to be awesome..." but here we are folks.

30 years is a laughably short sentence for what he did. The UK penal system is a joke.

We use pounds over here brother there’s a huge difference of gdp between the two,4 thousand dollars converted into pounds is 3 thousand.

Did anybody else burst out laughing when he said “there are fears he could die”? Like who the hell actually gives a shit if this guy ends up dying in prison? All honesty he shouldn’t have gotten 35 years he should’ve gotten life without any possibility of parole.

Sad that he has such resources even in prison. Cell phone, substances, high level connections, fan mail. He's still living better than most humans ever will.

I just want to know if he got a taste of his own medicine in prison. He also should never leave prison, ever. He will re-offend.

Pounds not euros 😊

I'm honestly surprised that vigilante justice hasn't claimed this dude. I really wish the remaining members of Lost Prophets would reclaim their music with a new singer. They should be able to move on past this monster without disowning the accomplishment they made aside from him.

Start Something was a good album dam shame. Sick 🤬

All the people sending him letters most likely have daddy issues, and he's playing them. Sickening. All of them.

The women that offered their babies to him only got a few years. It blew my mind what fans will do and still do. Still getting fan mail? I wonder if they know lowest age he went was a 1 year old....yes, a ONE year old. Edit: all that and he did it for the "lolz"

They still have 219k monthly listeners on Spotify. He's probably making more money in prison than I do working full time. Society is great

We shouldn't revel in another humans misery. Except this guy, this is totally fine. All is right in his world.

I’m sorry to hear that* *That he is still alive

Lostprophets bus broke down during a warped tour and they got a ride on a bus of an all girls (young teens) hard rock band called Cherri Bomb. The idea sickens me and I hope to hell he didn't try anything.

Whatever happened to the women that were giving him their children. We always hear about him we never hear about those 2

One of the few times where it is wrong to say there are "fears he could die" doesn't deserve the air he breathes.

Ladies, I have a feeling this guy might not be into you 🤷‍♂️

"There is not enough pain in the world for that dude." - Corey Taylor I posted this in case anyone wanted to ask what he thinks.

*plays world’s smallest violin

There is seriously something wrong with women that writes letter to people like him.

Mega Lolz, that's what he said in text about what he did to the kids. Mega Lolz is what I'll say when he runs out of money for his protection.

Loved last train home but yeah simply cant listen to it anymore..get a sick feeling.

ZERO sympathy for a man that did that he did to infants and toddlers.

"But because it was Watkins, they said he owed $900" lol thats great

35 years? Should be 35 eternities.

all those female fans who brought their own children to him should be in prison too

Abolish protective custody in prisons.

I liked Lost Prophets, they were part of the sound of the 2000s I guess. Have not listened to them once since I found out about this.

I'm amazed he's lasted this long...

Someone will get him eventually??

Good!

Enjoy it Ian

Should've been a life sentence

He's in the same prison as Robert Maudsely, and I still hold on to my theory that he had something to do with the stabbing.

Crazy how I watched their Rooftops song yesterday and this appears... Yes from time to time I watch their Rooftops music video blame Marshmello from his Rooftops video.

Washing in the shower dropping soap and screaming his heart out 😮

Karma! Your bad deeds will always catch up with you

The worst is still too good for him.

There is always the tv series Love After Lockup 😂

I can't wait to hear JD Delay's commentary on this situation. 😂😂😂😂

The problem is that he is one of the best looking front men in a rock band. Certain types of women can ignore all the vile stuff because of how he looks. It's very sad.

That's a pound symbol bro. UK doesn't use euros...

Daily misery? Nothing like the daily misery of his victims

He should not be released. He’s already shown that he has zero remorse. As well as having access to large sums of money & insane women (with children) upon release.

Give Toilet Brush Man a full pardon for his contributions to the public good

Man... I'd love to hear Ian's cries of suffering in there. That would be true music to My ears.

Prison justice acts quicker than the courts

All of his fans should be investigated

Dude.. A band I sort of liked that now is very hard to listen without remembering this sadly 😐

Apparently the attacker didn't even know why Watkins was in jail, he just listened to one of their albums.

He better not get parole! Those women are sick and I hope he runs out of money soon!

Eternity in Hell awaits him.

So, he's getting protected, dying his hair, and getting high. Sounds like it's way too good for him, to me.

To think I was a teenage fan at a signing session at HMV Cardiff 2003 with a copy of Last Train Home and shook hands with this demon is sickening. This band could have been the biggest band ever from Wales and rich beyond the dreams of averice. Now the songs and the legacy are stained with the gravity of his conviction. I know the other guys gave it a shot with no devotion but it never really took off.

I wonder if he’ll find the last train home if he ever makes it out alive.

He doesn't have any friends or protection

Animal. Now he knows what it feels like to be helpless and unprotected as things are inserted in him.

All these women that are writing him letters should be put on a watch-list.

I hope every day is worse than the last…..

It sucks cuz I still love their music but I feel bad when I listen to it

Look like he is not standing rooftop screaming his heart out

Sean Smith of the Blackout has a podcast called Sappenin where he had Stu Richardson, bassist for Lostprophets on and he tells an amazing story about a time that Watkins messed up their anniversary show of Start Something. Stu then proceeded to kick the fuck out of Watkins on the tour bus leaving him in quite a state. Point being here, if that’s what the other band members did to him for messing up a show, imagine what they would have done to him if they could of gotten access to him after all this came out.
