Cockney
To you London native speakers: Did he then (at least partially) sing in Cockney? I certainly hear an accent, but which one is it? --AchimP (talk) 16:12, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

Degeneration
I have removed:

"Changing the band name from Cockney Rebel to Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel for the No. 1 hit, the degeneration was rapid."

because it seems to make no sense. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:46, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Band or not?
The article currently says:

"From then on, the band were a band in name only, being more or less a Harley solo project. [...] Cockney Rebel eventually disbanded"

How does a solo project disband? Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:55, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
