Brown, who moved to Los Angeles in the early 1990s hoping for a break with his Barry Manilow-style songs, before he became a famous author, said that his dreams of being a pop star were dashed when he realised that people didn’t want to see a “pale, balding geek shaking his booty”.

"Do I really look like someone cut out for MTV? The world isn't ready for a pale, balding geek shaking his booty - not a pretty picture," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.
