I`m removing the project template from the article because, the lead section is obviously the one of a person not an album, but if the info regarding the article is made into its own article it would be a acceptable one. Zidane tribal (talk) 22:44, 26 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

I think you are referring to the {{WikiProject Albums}} template. The thing is, there is a section about an album that probably does not belong in this article, if for no other reason because it uses {{Infobox album}}, which causes the article name to use italics. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 23:59, 11 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Can a Personal Life section be added? I'm reading several articles that say he had medical issues earlier this year.
