Not only did Dale - whose real name is Richard Anthony Monsour - create an entirely new style of music, he was also credited with creating custom amplifiers for Fender that could handle his often powerful sounds and slides. 

Dale told The Malibu Times in 2015 that he and wife Lana were both struggling with health conditions, but being on tour not only helped keep their spirits alive but also helped pay their medical bills. 

'We're both dealing with ailments,' Dale said. 'Lana has multiple sclerosis, a tumor in her throat, fibromyalgia ... I've been dealing with cancer for 20 years, diabetes, renal failure. We've been doing it all on our own.'

He also said that many of his fans are suffering with the same issues, and being on stage was mutually beneficial.   

'A lot of the people that are coming to see me have the same ailments, and they see me jump on stage and they say 'holy mackerel!' Then there are times that I have to sit on a stool because it takes the strength out of me,' he said. 'But yet, we fight through it, and they see me doing it and it gives them courage to keep on going and we talk all about it.'   

Dale revealed that his work with Tarantino had been by chance and almost didn't happen after he threw out a note from a bandmate saying some director was looking for him.

'Quentin [Tarantino] told me, "Dick I’ve been listening to you for so many years. I make movies a different way. Most people make a movie and then put music to it. I don’t do that. I sit in a room, lock myself up and listen to a song over and over again until it grabs me to make a movie. Can I have your permission to use the masterpiece of Misirlou to create a masterpiece of a movie?"'

His wife Lana served as his manager, mentor and promoter, and during most performances, could be seen playing an instrument on stage as Dick wailed on the guitar.

'You've gotta always laugh at life,' Dale said. 'Laugh at the pain. Our life is nothing but a minefield that you must learn how to walk through. You must learn how, when you wake up - if you're lucky enough to wake up and open your eyes, no matter what you're dealing with, be thankful that your eyes woke up and that you can see and hear- and then deal with it. Deal with the situation and forget about yourself. Help others and then you'll forget about the pain.' 

'You've gotta always laugh at life,' Dale said during an interview with The Malibu Times. 'Laugh at the pain. Our life is nothing but a minefield that you must learn how to walk through'; seen performing in 1993

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
