    Deryck Whibley of Sum 41 alleges he was sexually abused by the band’s former manager Greg Nori:

    Whibley has talked about these challenges in interviews before. But there are key details about his life he’d shared only with a few people, revelations that he poured into the book. “I don’t know how to tell the real story without getting into some of this stuff, because it’s all intertwined with my life, intertwined with the music and in the band,” says Whibley. “It’s just such a big part of it.”

    Throughout the pages of “Walking Disaster,” Whibley describes a fraught and frightening relationship with Sum 41’s first manager, Greig Nori, whom the singer alleges groomed and sexually and verbally abused him for years, starting when he was 16 and Nori was 34.

    For what it’s worth, in Canada, Greig’s band Treble Charger were an alt-rock staple from the mid 90s to early 2000s (they might have been posted about a bit on AP.net when they tried to catch the pop punk wave and changed their sound with stuff like American Psycho and Hundred Million in the early 2000s). He also hosted a show (or was a main judge or something) on MuchMusic (our MTV)… where he would judge and work with young bands.

    The whole thing is sick and I wouldn’t be shocked if more comes out given his involvement with other upstart bands around that time.

    If you have to ask, you can't afford it

    It's interesting he didn't tell his bandmates. I feel like Tom especially would be more familiar because of his days in Gob. I remember they and TC were at their peak around the same time

    This is some very disturbing stuff to read. I agree that it will be interesting if more information comes to light or more allegations are brought against Nori.

    I am quite literally about to go and pick up the book from the store and am really excited for this read, and even more so now after hearing about this.

    Ugh, I feel like I heard stuff about Greg when Sum 41 were just getting up and running.

    I will say the song Red by Treble Charger is one of my favourite songs (sung by Rosie though not Greg)

    Better than you, sorry

    Canada needs to look into its age of consent

    Hollywood (the entertainment industry) is fraught with sexual deviancy and abuse.
