The musician is currently on alleged manslaughter charges.


“They want to give me five to 10 years, so naturally, there's some trepidation. But the way I feel about possibly going to prison for five to 10 years really has nothing to do with the fact of the matter that it's the right thing for me to do.


“It's the right thing for me to do and stand trial if called – if only from the ethical viewpoint that this young man's family is sitting there with a lot of questions still,” Blythe said.


The vocalist went onto talk about the widespread support he has received, particularly from his musical peers.


“It's pretty humbling for me to see this level of support. I knew my good friends in the music industry would stand by me, but a bunch of legends really spoke up for me.”
