'The Masked Singer' said goodbye to a rock legend on Wednesday night (Nov. 10) when the Jester was sent packing.

The judges didn't know what to do with this oddball character, with Robin Thicke praising him for bringing some"metal" edge to the typically poppy prime-time series and the panel swinging wildly with their guesses. Their off-the-mark suggestions ranged from Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott to the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea, Ozzy Osbourne, Jack Black, Howard Stern and always-wrong Ken Jeong's suggestions: SpaceX billionaire boss Elon Musk or mean reality judge Simon Cowell.

We've lived together for 47 years, Nora and I, so she must have some clues as to who I am and what I can get up to.No. I can't watch the show because I'm on a book promotion tour in England [for his 2020 book], which is very upsetting to me. I hadn't planned it out in my mind well enough and I can't travel with my lovely Nora, so I have to do it on FaceTime with her every night. I think she did guess...

No. You're wrong there on several levels. The costume is part of my character but certainly not a piss-taker. The Jester is a very knowledgeable person in any court who knows all the goings on. He's the center of information and a spreader of hope. There's nothing negative in my Jester apart from that fact that he's completely f---ing terrifying. I used the imagery on my last album and it's based on the Hopi Indian character called the the Huckster, the Prankster.

I think you should make fun of everything you do. If you take yourself too serious there's not much place of a place left for you in this world. You have to have a sense of self-deprecation. I can't bear over-arrogant, overindulgent people. I'll tear myself down as much as anyone or anything else, probably more so. Hence that's the sadness in that character, the joker. The smile carries empathy and pathos at the same time.

In one of the clues packages, you said you were interested in changing history and showing that you're this more sensitive, multi-faceted clown. Certainly your reputation precedes you as someone who has been known to be a little bit... angsty, edgy, what's the word I'm looking for?So was this a redemption tour for you to soften your image a bit? Your public image, as it were?

Did you hear from any of your former bandmates in the Pistols or PiL who might have guessed it was you?
