Seems like Jonathan King will go to any depths to bolster up and publicise his ailing music career. 'Every ones gone to the moon'. The only half decent record he ever made, back in the 60's, is the best place for him.

The families of the victims of Harold Shipman have reacted angrily to a song about the killer penned by convicted paedophile Jonathan King.

The video for "The True Story Of Harold Shipman" includes a montage of the serial murderer's victims.

King, 62, claims in the song that Shipman was a victim of the media.

Barry Swann, whose 79-year-old mother Bessie was killed by Shipman in Hyde, Greater Manchester, said the song was "sensationalist rubbish".

The video has been posted on video-sharing website YouTube.

King sings: "Police will inflate and the law says it's fine to accommodate tabloids with a solid headline/But a real psycho monster who's killing for fame would leave notes for acclaim to establish his name."
