He also convinced Joyce to become a vegetarian, the day the band recorded their 1985 album title track “Meat Is Murder”. “I became vegetarian on that day, and I've been vegetarian ever since – my children and my grandchildren are too. So he had a huge influence on me as a person, not just as a musician.”"
