My father. I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow.

I'm not getting old I'm evolving.

There was a knock on our dressing-room door. Our manager shouted, 'Keith! Ron! The Police are here!' Oh, man, we panicked, flushed everything down the john. Then the door opened and it was Stewart Copeland and Sting.

One minute I'm standing at Ronnie Scott's getting a standing ovation and the next minute, I'm on a marble slab
