The Resume

    (October 15, 1948- )
    Born in Pergamino, Argentina
    Birth name was Christopher John Davison
    Recorded the singles 'Don't Pay the Ferryman' (1982) and 'Lady in Red' (1986)

Why he might be annoying:

    Princess Diana thought 'Lady in Red' was written about her, but he says it is about his wife.
    His wife said she was mortified by the song.
    While his wife was in the hospital following an horse-riding accident, he had an affair with the family's 19-year old babysitter (1994).
    He claimed he can heal the sick by laying his hands on them (2006).
    Comedian Bill Bailey called him 'A mono-browed, nanny-shagging toss-monger who has inflicted his sentimental mewlings on a reluctant nation.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    'Lady in Red' topped the charts in over 20 countries.
    He was given permission to become the first Western singer to perform in Iran since the 1979 revolution (2007).
    His daughter Rosanna Davison became Miss World (2003).
    According to Rosanna, his affair ultimately made the family stronger.
