According to Portland newspaper The Oregonian, Art Alexakis singer of the band Everclear, owes $2.75 million in back taxes from 1999 - 2002, piled up $120,000 in credit card debt, and owes $230,000 to the Oregon Department of Revenue.
Let's take a moment to look at Everclear's record sales shale we?
So Much For The Afterglow, their biggest album from 1997 sold 2.3 million units. The predecessor from 1995 Sparkle and Fade sold 1.2 million. Not too shabby.
Then things started to go downhill ...
Most of the audience hung with them for the next album, Songs from an American Movie Vol. 1 sold a respectable 1.1 million but the Vol. 2 companion album released later in the year sold about a quarter of that with 292,000 in sales. Keeping with the trend, Best of Everclear sold 39,000 units.
Not to mention he divorced last year for the third time, so lets not forget about alimony payments, child support, etc ...
So yeah, don't expect to see Mr. Alexakis on Cribs anytime soon.
