Blur Man Admits To Being A Coke Addict

Blur drummer Dave Rowntree has admitted that he was addicted to cocaine during his time in Blur.

The drummer said that his addiction became worse as Blur’s notoriety grew during their Britpop days, but he has since been able to get help.

"I didn't start using regularly until the 90s, but as my tolerance increased, I used more,” Rowntree explained. “I managed to get help before they destroyed my life, and these days I'm active in the recovery community.”

He continued to the Guardian: "The key point is that all the way along, I thought my behaviour was normal and it was the rest of the world that had gone mad. I had no idea my experience was different to anyone else's because I had nothing to measure it against."

Meanwhile, rumours are continuing to circle that all four members of Blur will be reconvening in the studio in September to work on new material.
