Connolly's deterioration was too subtle for TV's pop audiences to notice at first. As a young Sweet fan, I thought he sang terrifically on Fox on the Run and Action in 1975. But his alcoholism put him on a collision course with Scott, who was trying to steer the band through the choppy waters of the mid-to-late 70s. As punk, new wave and disco arrived, Sweet suddenly looked old-fashioned. Connolly and Sweet parted company in 1979. In 1981, the year the remaining three decided to disband, Connolly was rushed to hospital, where he suffered 14 cardiac arrests in 24 hours. He was left with slurred speech, partial paralysis and violent tremors.

In 1990 this line-up was again reunited for the promotion of a music documentary entitled Sweet's Ballroom Blitz. This UK video release, which contained UK television performances from the 1970s and current-day interviews, was released at Tower Records, London. Sweet were interviewed by Power Hour, Super Channel, and spoke of a possible reunion. lt;p>May contain Peanuts, Nuts, Sesame Seeds and Soya.
