Former *NSYNC-Backstreet Boys manager gets 25 years

Lou Pearlman, the former manager of Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC was this morning (May 21) sentenced to 25 years in prison by a Florida judge.

The sentencing came as a result of four federal charges brought against Pearlman �?? two counts of conspiracy, money laundering and using false statements.

However, Pearlman can help reduce his sentence if he agrees to return the money he stole from over 1,000 investors.

Judge G. Kendall Sharp said that for every $1 million returned to investors, Pearlman�??s sentence would be reduced by one month.

Pearlman pleaded guilty in March to defrauding banks out of $120 million and stole a further $315 million from over 1,000 investors.

He was arrested in Indonesia last year after a stint on the run from authorities in the US.

During the mid-'60s, he formed the psychedelic megrims jazz band the Gods with Greg Lake (later of Emerson, Lake & Palmer) and future Rolling Stone Mick Taylor, although only Hensley remained from the original batting order by the 1968 liberation of their debut album Genesis. Upon issuing To Samuel a Son the undermentioned year, the dance band added Cliff Bennett and rechristened themselves Toe Fat. A couple of John Peel-produced LPs followed before Toe Fat split and in 1970, Hensley signed on to bring guitar and keyboards in Spice, before long renamed Uriah Heep in laurels of the Charles Dickens character. Despite near-unanimous decisive animosity, Uriah Heep earned a truehearted following in laborious rock circles and in 1973, Hensley recorded his solo debut, Proud Words on a Dusty Shelf, with the assistance of bandmates Lee Kerslake and Gary Thain. Eager to Please followed deuce days by and by and subsequently complementary Uriah Heep's 1978 record album, Fallen Angel, Hensley left the group to wax a full-time solo career, issue Disengage Spirit in 1981.
