Andrew Lloyd Webber was interviewed on BBC radio this afternoon. I like and admire his work so it was very interesting. At the end Michael Ball said how well Andrew looked and Andrew replied that he had been off the booze, ‘not a drop‘ for fifteen months.
In the past, the old me would have dismissed this as rubbish, assuming that someone who mixes in the showbiz world and parties with celebrities every day and night must surely be guzzling champagne by the gallon. How could someone like that possibly have fun and cope without that wonderful alcohol buzz I would have said to myself – after all what is the point of being famous if you can’t get drunk. It just shows what a blinkered attitude I had when in the thrall of alcohol and with that voice in my head dictating my life.
Now I know for a fact that you have far more fun being sober and are a much happier person into the bargain. Well done Andrew, no wonder Michael said you look so much better.
