Another interview, this time by Dave Ling of classic rock magazine...



Am I right in thinking you are sober these days?
Oh, a hundred per cent.

Did something happen that made you think, ‘I must change this lifestyle’?
Basically, I hit a wall.

What, in a car?
[Laughing]: No, not this time. I realised that partying was not a good thing anymore. So, fuck it, I stopped. That was four years ago.

How bad did it get?
Well, beer was my thing back then. I drank a lot of beer – a lot. But I also gave up smoking and it was really refreshing. Now when I get up in the morning, I’m clear and focussed. I can get shit done. I highly recommend it.
