- His wife, Nina, pushed back at commenters who asked why he still works, joking that he is rich and she spends his money.
- Fans have praised his attitude and skill and also voiced surprise that a former chart star is not living off past record sales.
- Hendy left East 17 in 2018 to focus on family and, after reported hardship during the pandemic, returned to his pre‑fame trade.
