Michael English's fall from grace came with the swiftness of divine vengeance. Two days after he won gospel music's highest honor, the Christian singer's world came tumbling down over an affair with another married gospel artist, now pregnant with his child.
English learned that Marabeth Jordan, with whom he had an affair, was pregnant with his child. (Jordan sang with the group First Call ; First Call and English had just completed a tour for unwed mothers.)
So, within hours of winning four Dove Awards, the pinnacle of the gospel music industry, Michael English announced to the world that he was having an affair. Without music as his anchor, Michael’s life spiraled out of control, lost to a world of infidelity, drunkenness, and drug addiction.
