As Salam alaikum
We must be careful if he was muslim which I have heard before... but also heard dismissed.
This man experienced a world of pain and abuse as a child so his being this different is not surprising. His father figure called him ugly and beat him. Telling him how ugly his nose is (hence the plastic surgery). While on the road performing with his brothers as young as six, his older brothers would bring groupies into their shared room and have sex with them while this poor little boy was there.
Most of us have not experienced half the emotional and social hardships that he had to endure so let us have only Allah Judge him now because that is all there is left for him anyway. Let us not have to give any of our deeds up because we have backbited him. Let us make du'a that if he was muslim that Allah will have Mercy upon him.
Beyond that, let's take this death, as a anyone else's death, that we ALL will die.
What have I done today to ensure me Afterlife?
As Salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu
