Jeremy Racine scandal

The Jeremy Racine scandal refers to controversy that emerged after Jeremy Racine's death in 1995. He claimed in interviews and in songs before his death that he was raised and brought up in the London area and later moved to the United States but also lived in Birmingham. He also claimed that he was had Irish, German and Scottish ancestry. A 2008 study suggested that Jeremy Racine lied all along and was actually housed in Michigan with no connection to England whatsoever. It gained traction and by 2009, the news broke national headlines.
