Why is the phantoms face messed up in the Phantom of the Opera?
He was born with the deformity. It is clearly implied in the original novel as well as in the stage musical and the 2004 film based on that novel.

Was Steve Harley in phantom of the opera?
Steve Harley was originally supposed to be the phantom on stage but instead Michael Crawford was the given the role of the phantom. Although you can find videos of Steve Harley and Sarah Brightman singing the song "The Phantom Of The Opera" it never went on stage. Andrew Lloyd Webber changed his mind for the part of the phantom at the last minute, giving it to Michael Crawford.
Could be a few reasons. First of all Michael is notorious for rehearsing everything to death! I think he must rehearse brushing his teeth! Since he was on stage every day in Wizard of Oz this didn't allow him to rehearse with the rest of the Phantom cast.
Secondly, he could only attend the Sun. performance for the same reason. But mostly I think it was because he was EXTREMELY emotional that night and having to literally sprint from the performance at the Palladium to do the show at RAH, I'm sure he felt like he wouldn't be "up" to giving his best for the audience. And it's tough to get him to do anything if he feels he can't give 100% or more!
He and Sir Lloyd Webber had agreed ahead of time that he would appear at the last "finale" but not perform. If you notice on the video Sierra Bogess "escorts" him off stage before the other Phantoms begin singing. That was obviously pre-arranged.
