Ian 'Molly' Meldrum has been an iconic figure in the Australian music industry for over four decades, earning recognition and respect for his contributions and support for talented performers. However, recent events have sparked concern for his well-being and reputation.

A disturbing video has surfaced from a Rod Stewart concert, showing Meldrum urinating on the floor in front of a shocked audience.

A witness to the incident told the Daily Mail that they saw the 80-year-old Meldrum in action, and it was not a pretty sight. 'There were people everywhere. It was disgusting,' they said.

The incident has understandably raised concerns among those close to Molly, with one entertainment editor noting that it's starting to tarnish his otherwise stellar legacy. 'It's a bad look, and it's beginning to negate Molly's legacy, which is decades of great support to the Australian music industry,' they said.

It's worth noting that there may be more to Molly's behaviour than meets the eye. Apparently, he suffered a serious brain injury back in 2011 after taking a tumble off a ladder. Some are suggesting that this injury could be playing a role in his recent behaviour.

That being said, it's important for those caring for him to take proactive measures to ensure that no more public incidents occur. Ultimately, it's up to them to keep Molly and those around him safe and secure.

It seems that Molly is taking responsibility for his actions and has issued apologies to the public, but the full extent of the fallout from his scandal remains to be seen.

One person who is standing by him is his assistant, Alan Evers-Buckland. He defended Molly, saying that he's deeply embarrassed and sorry for what happened, and emphasised the many years of service and support that Molly’s given to the music industry.

Evers-Buckland added that despite the best efforts of Molly's dedicated team, some things are simply beyond their control. Nonetheless, it's clear that there are many people in the industry who care deeply for Molly and are hoping he can weather this storm.

At the end of the day, we can only hope that he finds the support and strength he needs to move forward and that his legacy will ultimately be remembered for the positive impact he's had on Australian music.

​

It seems like Molly has a bit of a history when it comes to pushing boundaries at public events. In fact, the recent incident we talked about earlier wasn't even his first offence!

Just a couple of months prior, he made headlines again at an Elton John concert, where he shocked fans by pulling down his pants and mooning the crowd during a performance of 'The B**ch Is Back'.

Unfortunately, this kind of behaviour seems to be something of a pattern for Molly. Back in 2017, he made waves at the 60th annual Logie Awards by snatching the microphone away from actor Samuel Johnson during his acceptance speech.

Johnson was dedicating his award to his charity and his sister, who was battling cancer at the time — definitely not the time or place for a publicity stunt.

All of this goes to show that while Molly may be a beloved figure in the Australian music world, he's not without his share of controversy and drama.

Key Takeaways

• Ian 'Molly' Meldrum is a well-known figure in the Australian music industry, having supported and recognised talented performers for over four decades.
• However, in recent years, he has made headlines for concerning incidents, including baring his backside on stage and allegedly urinating on the floor during a concert.
• While some attribute these behaviours to a brain injury he suffered in 2011, his story serves as a reminder of the importance of seeking help and support as we age.

We all want to live our golden years with grace and dignity, but as we age, it can be easy to lose our independence and find ourselves struggling with everyday tasks. That's why it's important to be mindful of our own well-being and that of those around us.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a decline in independence and making mistakes, it's essential to consider getting help. Seeking assistance doesn't mean giving up your freedom; in fact, it can be quite the opposite. With a bit of support, you can continue to live independently for longer while enjoying a better quality of life.

The type of support needed will differ from person to person. It could involve assistance with daily activities such as shopping and cooking or help with personal care like bathing and dressing. It may even involve making modifications to your home to improve safety and mobility.

Whatever the case may be, getting a little extra help can make a world of difference in your life. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask for assistance — it's a sign of strength, not weakness.

The story of Molly Meldrum is a reminder that even those we admire can struggle with their own personal challenges. While his recent incidents have left many feeling concerned, it's important to remember that he is just one example of someone who may need extra support and care as they age.

We all know someone who could benefit from a little help, whether it's a family member, friend, or even ourselves.

Members, how does Molly's story make you feel? Has it made you more aware of the importance of reaching out for help or reminded you to check in on someone you know who may be struggling?

Whatever your thoughts, let's use this opportunity to start a conversation and encourage one another to prioritise our own well-being and that of those around us.

I've never been a fan of Molly's always thought he was a bit over the top . But that said if he has carers they should be aware of his impulses. I worked in disability services for many years and made sure my clients were looked after well ,but also were closely watched because of sometimes their unexpected behaviours

 

[Macarj]

He's 80 and had a brain injury my father was 85 when he died the last couple of years he did things which he would have been horrified with 20 years ago and if we told him what he did he would just ignore us, they don't always understand what they're doing sometimes, just have empathy for him one day we might be in that place

 

[Mina vriesekolk]

I have thought that he loved to be in the middle of the attention , but urinating in public that is not a good sight . Some one should have direct him to the rest rooms . To take over from Sam Johnson , that was a terrible thing to do . There is a time to step aside , if you can not control yourself.

Yes he wasn’t always known for his good deeds, but since he took that tumble very obvious something is really wrong. Hope he gets the help he needs

To take over from Sam Johnson , that was a terrible thing to do . There is a time to step aside , if you can not control yourself.

Mina, if you see him on the rare occasions he appears on tv, I believe that his mind is out of kilter, people caring for him should have cared a little more , he shouldn’t be going to such large events that could trigger him.

 

[gollywog]

So sad to see Molly in the lime-light for all the wrong reasons!!

Does Molly not have any living relatives??

Clearly he needs medical intervention and qualified Carers, not just minders.

 

[puzzle solver]

His fall and subsequent brain injury has a huge amount to do with his behaviour, BUT that does not excuse his people who are suppose to be looking after him they should be doing more to try and get him away from these events, these places are what triggers this sort of behaviour. Shame on the minders they are just getting paid and NOT doing the job. Molly deserves a lot more than this, his reputation is going down the drain because of these lazy people.

Also my concern would be how he is travelling to & from concerts because it's not easy being one of 40,000+ attendees all trying to get home or back to hotels by any form of transport after such shows.
Molly has given himself to music for decades and his health should be paramount.

I think this kind of behaviour is indescribably disgusting. Dirty old man, whatever his past record. Why don't his friends take him somewhere right out of the public eye??? (If they care so much about him.

Brain injury aside, there is absolutely NO excuse for this type of behaviour and his said apology doesn't hold water. The man is disgusting and opinionated with the idea he can do whatever he likes. Not on! He should be kept away from any further events as he obviously sees it as an opportunity to be disgustingly foul and offensive. If I had attended either the Elton John or the Rod Stewart concerts I would have demanded my money back. This behaviour makes me sick, keep him home!

 

[Colette 3799]

Love Molly and he has done a great service to the Australian music industry. But he is becoming more erratic with some of his behaviour. Which is incredibly sad, but with his brain injury & his advancing age things like this is going to happen more often. I don't 100% blame Molly, but I do believe that some, if not most blame should be on his handler's shoulders.
Remember if this was someone less known, they would have been fined on the spot.
Here is what the Australian Law states.

Although specific laws against public urination exist in Queensland, South Australia and the ACT, there is no such discrete offence in New South Wales.

Rather, such acts may amount to “offensive conduct”, which is a crime under section 4 of the Summary Offences Act 1988 (NSW).

To establish the offence, the prosecution is required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant conduct himself or herself in an “offensive manner” in or near, or within view or hearing from, a public place or a school.

The maximum penalty for the offence is a fine of 6 penalty units (currently $660) or imprisonment for three months.

Alternatively, police have discretion to issue a criminal infringement notice (a fine) for the offence in the sum of $500, rather than sending a person to court.

Paying a criminal infringement notice does not lead to a criminal record, and a person can challenge the notice and seek to defend the charge in court if he or she wishes to do so.

Sorry, but “handlers” he’s not a horse he’s a human being. He needs to be supported in an appropriate way. Maybe the carers need some specialist training

 

[Zemo]

Onya, Molly. "A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do and bugger the rest of ya!" seems to be his style, brain injury or not. And those who "handle" him should wake up to themselves.

If the press and other media were to let this go away then Molly would be able to get on with his life. The press and media keep bringing things like this up over and over again doesn't do anyone any good. For example, Royalty in England, Trump in America, several politicians in Australia and so on.

That being said, it's important for those caring for him to take proactive measures to ensure that no more public incidents occur. Ultimately, it's up to them to keep Molly and those around him safe and secure.

It seems that Molly is taking responsibility for his actions and has issued apologies to the public, but the full extent of the fallout from his scandal remains to be seen.

One person who is standing by him is his assistant, Alan Evers-Buckland. He defended Molly, saying that he's deeply embarrassed and sorry for what happened, and emphasised the many years of service and support that Molly’s given to the music industry.

Evers-Buckland added that despite the best efforts of Molly's dedicated team, some things are simply beyond their control. Nonetheless, it's clear that there are many people in the industry who care deeply for Molly and are hoping he can weather this storm.

At the end of the day, we can only hope that he finds the support and strength he needs to move forward and that his legacy will ultimately be remembered for the positive impact he's had on Australian music.

It seems like Molly has a bit of a history when it comes to pushing boundaries at public events. In fact, the recent incident we talked about earlier wasn't even his first offence!

Just a couple of months prior, he made headlines again at an Elton John concert, where he shocked fans by pulling down his pants and mooning the crowd during a performance of 'The B**ch Is Back'.

Unfortunately, this kind of behaviour seems to be something of a pattern for Molly. Back in 2017, he made waves at the 60th annual Logie Awards by snatching the microphone away from actor Samuel Johnson during his acceptance speech.

Johnson was dedicating his award to his charity and his sister, who was battling cancer at the time — definitely not the time or place for a publicity stunt.

All of this goes to show that while Molly may be a beloved figure in the Australian music world, he's not without his share of controversy and drama.

Key Takeaways

• Ian 'Molly' Meldrum is a well-known figure in the Australian music industry, having supported and recognised talented performers for over four decades.
• However, in recent years, he has made headlines for concerning incidents, including baring his backside on stage and allegedly urinating on the floor during a concert.
• While some attribute these behaviours to a brain injury he suffered in 2011, his story serves as a reminder of the importance of seeking help and support as we age.

We all want to live our golden years with grace and dignity, but as we age, it can be easy to lose our independence and find ourselves struggling with everyday tasks. That's why it's important to be mindful of our own well-being and that of those around us.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a decline in independence and making mistakes, it's essential to consider getting help. Seeking assistance doesn't mean giving up your freedom; in fact, it can be quite the opposite. With a bit of support, you can continue to live independently for longer while enjoying a better quality of life.

The type of support needed will differ from person to person. It could involve assistance with daily activities such as shopping and cooking or help with personal care like bathing and dressing. It may even involve making modifications to your home to improve safety and mobility.

Whatever the case may be, getting a little extra help can make a world of difference in your life. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask for assistance — it's a sign of strength, not weakness.

The story of Molly Meldrum is a reminder that even those we admire can struggle with their own personal challenges. While his recent incidents have left many feeling concerned, it's important to remember that he is just one example of someone who may need extra support and care as they age.

We all know someone who could benefit from a little help, whether it's a family member, friend, or even ourselves.

Members, how does Molly's story make you feel? Has it made you more aware of the importance of reaching out for help or reminded you to check in on someone you know who may be struggling?

Whatever your thoughts, let's use this opportunity to start a conversation and encourage one another to prioritise our own well-being and that of those around us.
