Johnny Borrell, guitarist, singer, and frontman of Razorlight, sits down with Matt for an in-depth discussion about his teenage heroin addiction, his journey to recovery, and the stigma that surrounds these experiences.
Johnny opens up about the challenges he faced after being ousted from his band due to drug use, and how he eventually regained control of both his life and his music with the help of close relationships and a crucial time filler with Championship Manager.
He reflects on the immense pressures he encountered while recording his first album, which led to a relapse, and the stereotypes musicians often face, as well as the common misconceptions about drug use in the music festival scene.
The Believe in People Podcast explores addiction, recovery and stigma.
