The front man of Scottish sensations Glasvegas, James Allan, has admitted to blowing out dates on their last American tour in 2009 – including an appearance at the massive Coachella Festival – because he’d had a drug overdose. Hitting the press circuit to promote the band’s new album Euphoric///Heartbreak\\\\\, which comes out next month, Allan has been offering the press tidbits such as this while drumming up interest in the new long player, revealing that the bands spokespeople were telling porkies when they said he’d succumbed to the old ‘dehydration and exhaustion’ chestnut.
Although offering no insight as to the nature of the overdose, such as whether it was a proper heroin overdose or just a minor cocaine freak out, Allan offered “It’s funny the fancy names people come up with when somebody has an overdose.” Describing his rehab process, he said “It was difficult to connect a fork with rice to my mouth. I was flinging half my dinners on the floor. I was no use to nobody. But that’s just part of living, whether that scares people or whatever, I dunno.” We want details James, or just harden the fuck up!
