LONDON, June 29: Musician Adam Clayton has thanked his U2 bandmates for sticking by him when he battled alcoholism.
The 57-year-old bassist, who checked into rehab in the early 1990s to get help for his drink problem, is grateful that Bono, The Edge, and Larry Mullen Jr. Have always supported him, reported Contactmusic.
“We have a pact with each other. In our band, no one will be a casualty. We all come home, or none of us come home. No one will be left behind. Thank you for honouring that promise, and letting me be in your band,” he said.
Despite his problems, Adam doesn’t think he would have the wonderful life he does now if he hadn’t had his difficulties.
“I’m not used to achieving anything on my own. I’m an alcoholic, addict, but in some ways that devastating disease is what drove me towards this wonderful life I now have. It’s just that I couldn’t take my friend alcohol. At some point I had to leave it behind and claim my full potential.” (PTI)
