What information is there about Georges (and the other members of CCs) drug problems?
This has been rehashed so many times, I am not going to go into detail here. Read TILAM or see the VH1 specials for more information. Basically, George began taking drugs in late 1984 and developed an addiction to heroin that nearly killed him. He spent a lot of 1985 and 1986 wasted but began rehab. It look him years to completely kick the addiction but he has been clean now for a long time. The other members of the band all admit to taking cocaine but say they did not take heroin. By 1986, Roy also had a serious drug problem and had to go through a rehabilitation program as well. I do not know how serious Jon and Mikeys problems became and whether they also had to go through rehab. The band says they are all drug-free nowadays. (They do all have an affinity for cigarettes though, especially George.
