He was from Belfast. He used to be a dj on a local radio station, Downtown Radio. Think he left that job in the late 70's to work with Freddie/Queen full time. By all accounts, he was not a very well liked individual and a nasty piece of work. When Freddie first moved into Garden Lodge, he gave Prenter the keys to his Stafford Terrace flat and a big wad of money to go out as often as he wanted. According to Peter Hince(Ratty), Prenter had a party in The flat, and it got trashed. So Freddie sacked him. Prenter apparantely said "I'm gonna do this" and "I'm gonna do that" and shortly afterwards he sold his lurid story to The Sun...
Freddie gave him the boot out the door. Don't think Freddie got a cat out of the deal, though.

Interesting. Do you have a source to back this up?
As far as history tells, Queen began to manage themselves after they amicably split with Reid in early 1978. Even in a 1979 TV interview Freddie is seen saying they manage themselves.
