Buster Bloodvessel
Douglas Steven Trendle[1] (né Woods; born 6 September 1958), better known as Buster Bloodvessel, is an English singer who has been the frontman of the two-tone band Bad Manners since forming the band in 1976.[2] He took his stage name from the bus conductor played by Ivor Cutler in the Beatles' 1967 film Magical Mystery Tour.[3] Personal lifeBloodvessel once owned a hotel in Margate called Fatty Towers,[4] which specifically catered for larger customers with features such as extra large beds and baths as well as fatty meals.[5] The hotel closed in 1998 and Bloodvessel moved back to London. He often appears as a guest on various television shows, as well as in the tabloid newspapers. He was the main sponsor of football team Margate F.C. in the 1990s.[6] In early 2001, Bloodvessel was taken ill with a Strangulated hernia during a concert in Perugia, Italy.[5][4] He wanted to return to England, but was advised to have operation in Italy, even though operation would have been extremely dangerous due to his weight.[4] Bloodvessel has struggled with morbid obesity and underwent laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery in 2004, with his weight dropping from 31 stone (196.86 kg; 434 lbs) to 13 stone (82.6 kg; 182 lbs).[7] Bloodvessel is married with two children.[4] References
