Billy Idol Talks About His Struggles With Drugs

NO MORE CHINA WHITE WEDDINGS –

Nov. 5, 2021 – “I’d had the motorcycle accident because I was a drug addict, and I had to cure that. And it took a long time”, Idol told Zane Low.

He also added, “I mean, I’m not 100 percent. I stopped the hard stuff, and I don’t drink much – things like that. I had to solve this problem about myself with the drug addiction, and that’s what was happening to me in the hospital bed – I was kind of realizing I was going to face up to the thing that I hadn’t quite faced up [to] that had been kind of ruling my life for about 10 years”. Billy Idol said it was at this point where he began to manage to “develop some kind of discipline”. 

“Thank God I got away from it because, yeah, I would probably be dead”, Idol added.“I’d be dead right now or in prison. … Drug addicts, we’re very clever. We’re not going to let you know; we’re going to hide it. We’re going to lie to you. We’re not going to tell you the truth. We’re going to lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. So, that’s the problem with drug addiction: We’re not being honest about it. Hiding it and doing it in secret, trying to get away with it”. 

Billy Idol also criticised the pharmaceutical industry. He blasted the, “horrendous relationship between the system that provides the drugs and the addict who needs them – because it’s not just the addicts keeping the secret, trust me”.
