Phil Overton was a long-time family friend and I worked on some albums with him. However, when I came forward about serial paedophile from the churches Phil stated he was siding with my parents who didn't support me coming forward. I asked if he supported me or my parents and his answer was he has known my parents for longer! He didn't support me coming forward and ended contact with me abruptly when I questioned him about it.
Hi famous song quote 'Don't point me to Jesus, I want to see Jesus in you' - no matter seeing Jesus - I can't see any trace of morals in Phil whatsoever.
After he was caught cheating on his wife he said he wouldn't sing or write music again, now he's bigging himself up more than ever - false humility.
Anyhow, not supporting a victim of abuse coming forward is not a good look for a so-called christian singer.
Sad thing is he also sings songs aimed at vulnerable children!
