Personal life
Roger Miret was born in Havana, Cuba. He is the older half-brother of Madball frontman, Freddy Cricien. The two have the same mother, who is of Cuban descent, and different fathers, hence the different last names.
Miret was incarcerated on a drug charge in the late 1980s, spending almost two years in jail. In a 2011 interview, he stated that he became involved in it because he was living in poverty, squatting buildings, and his then partner was pregnant. After being released, he started supporting PETA campaigns, as well as other other non-profit organizations, and followed a vegetarian diet for many years.
Nowadays, he does not smoke and does not use recreational drugs, except for an occasional drink.
Other projects
