And then that was a slippery slope for sure, yeah.

That was my drug of choice.

I'm obviously ecstasy, all the stuff, right, and the party days.

I was a party guy, so I loved, you know, the atmosphere of being out in the bars and the clubs and all that.

But I was in a boy band, obviously.

I was in the music scene.

So that was interesting to marry those two because on one side, my friend from school was a drug dealer that began to climb the criminal ranks in the underworld in Liverpool.

which put me into the rooms of the Scouts Mafia, as they call them.

So I ended up being in rooms with notorious Liverpool criminals that actually became friends with some of these guys.

But I wasn't like the kingpin, right, in the room like a lot of these guys were.

I was the musician.

So you'd find me in the corner with a guitar jamming out with some of these guys, right?

So they always liked me, you know what I mean?

But then I kind of developed a punch hump for cocaine, which was not good because I was with people that had a lot of cocaine and that began to sort of grow.

So I had the music thing going on and then I had this other life where I was mixing with gangsters and taking a lot of drugs and living a hedonistic lifestyle.

And then those two began to sort of collide.

Those two worlds began to collide.

Prostitutes?

No, I never did that, no.

No, if I'm honest, I mean, I kind of, I didn't have that much trouble getting the ladies, but back in the day I was outgoing and, you know, so I always felt comfortable with, you know, pulling the girls.
