He would often perform naked and regular stage antics included attacking audience and band members, defecating, urinating, throwing feces at his audience, and self mutilation. It is rumoured that he once raped a female audience member and has bragged of taking a woman hostage with a knife live onstage. He promised throughout his career that he would commit suicide onstage on Halloween. He put this off many times throughout his career and died of heroin overdose on 28 June 1993.
