Prior to joining Hanoi Rocks, Razzle started playing in local Binstead small ensembles, one of which was called Thin Red Line. In 1980 he moved to London, where he played in several punk rock bands. Also he joined Demon Preacher (featuring Nik Wade, later of Alien Sex Fiend), The Fuck Pigs and The Dark, with whom he released one EP ‘The living End live’ in 1981, which was recorded at the band’s last gig in London’s 100 Club, which in his own words, was heavy punk, almost heavy metal.

In 1983 Sami Yaffa disclosed that he and Razzle were planning to leave the band citing Andy McCoy’s insufferable behaviour as the main factor.

In late 1984, Hanoi Rocks were on their first American tour. Frontman Michael Monroe fractured his ankle, so the band had to skip a few gigs and take a break. During that break, Mötley Crüe’s singer Vince Neil invited the band to visit his home in Redondo Beach, California.

He was buried at Holy Cross Church in Binstead, on the Isle of Wight in 1984.

Neil dedicated Theatre of Pain, Mötley Crüe’s third studio album, to Razzle. In 2015 Neil admitted to Ultimate Classic Rock that he wrote a check for $2.5 million to the courts, so he only ever served 19 days of a 30-day sentence for the reckless death.

Neil’s account of this event, while contradictory to witnesses accounts, is documented in Mötley Crüe’s 2001 autobiography The Dirt: Confessions of the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band. Max Milner portrayed Razzle in the 2019 film adaptation.
