The singer from the band Slade has reportedly avoided restaurants in recent times, citing the influence of a popular Christmas song that continues to evoke specific memories and reactions. According to his wife, Suzan, it becomes ’awkward’ when ’Merry Xmas Everybody’ is played in front of him, indicating a significant personal response to the song’s association. This sentiment suggests that the song’s cultural prominence during the holiday season prompts a measurable impact on the singer’s public engagements, possibly due to emotional or psychological reasons related to his history with the track.
