Boy George
Boy George only quit drugs at the end of last year, femalefirst.co.uk reports.
The former Culture Club front man — who has revealed he used to be a heroin addict — says he spent much of the last five years taking illegal substances every day.
“I’ve been strung out on drugs for the last five years. But this time I’m clean for good. I don’t want to die,” he said. “I’ve spent five years in this chemical cloud. Getting clean at the end of 2007 was a very big thing. I was using half my brain, half my personality on drugs. One day I took a little and then I was on four grams a day. Up until six months ago, I had a really bad problem.”
The singer has now vowed to stay clean for good.
“A friend took me to a Narcotics Anonymous meeting and I was like an old f----ing man. I could barely walk I’d been using so much f---ing drugs,” he added to Q magazine.
