"I don't need need University. I don't need my school exams. I signed a record company, I'm gonna go do what I want, I'm gonna go party. So I think irrelevant of anything happening with my family or with my mum, there was some sort of crash coming at some point. Because I hadn't grounded myself very well and I was immersed in all of the drugs and alcohol. But then to have also the loss of my mother happen at exactly the same time as that band ending as well. It was like, 'wow' start again. Like, who am I? What am I doing with my life? What do I want to do?”
