Overview
The 39-year-old singer entered rehab in 2010 after admitting to cheating on his wife Emma on multiple occasions. Now sober, he said that he has learned to balance his commitment to his family with his commitment to the band.
He told Time Out magazine, 'I always thought that the mentality was 'When you go on tour, you go on tour'.
'I've realised it doesn't have to be like that. Life needn't be that one way or another. I don't feel as disconnected from my family now.'
And the father-of-two said that he had found other ways to entertain himself on tour - Green & Blacks organic milk chocolate.
'The world when you drink is different to when you don't,' he added. 'So different. There are different habits when you drink. I would come off stage and start drinking. Just head to the bar. That's what everyone does when they finish the show. Then you realise you don't need to go to the bar. You just don't need to go there.'
