Anyone remember Henry Lee Summer?

One of the first concerts I ever went to was Henry Lee Summer, back when he was at his most popular.
Remember this?

I looked him up online to see if he was still performing, and he is, but years of hard living seems to have taken it's toll. He's been arrested many times for DUI.
Here he is now off his new DVD

I'm still a fan, but he really has lost the best of his voice. Can't seem to hit those big notes anymore.

It seems Henry is on the meth now.
He is entering rehab, let's wish him the best to beat his addiction.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Late-1980s pop artist Henry Lee Summer has a court's permission to enter drug rehabilitation in Nashville, Tenn., while he awaits a trial in Indianapolis on methamphetamine possession and other charges.
Defense attorney Angela Davis says Judge Jose Salinas on Tuesday granted Summer's request to check into a treatment center for at least 28 days.
Summer, whose real name is Henry Swartz, is due back in court Sept. 8.
Summer was arrested May 6 after police say he threw drugs from his car during a traffic stop. Officers say they needed pepper spray to subdue him.
