To digest fame is not everyone’s cup of tea. A phrase my grandmother used to say a lot. She also added, to get success is very difficult, but to maintain the success is even more difficult. One right move and you become a famous name. People around you, following you, taking pictures, asking for autographs, making you feel like king of the world. In all such scenarios it is very easy to be carried away. The word NORMAL LIFE doesn’t exist anymore. With a bunch of people following you everywhere you go, the private life of a person is affected very badly. Moreover, with more work, you become more isolated from closed ones as you have to travel a lot. Loneliness is one of the reason that makes you more vulnerable towards addiction.
Living the life of a celebrity comes with its own perks. If asked, one of the most common answer celebrities asks for is privacy. Somewhere where they can get away from and relax and be themselves for a while. As a celebrity they always have to maintain an IMAGE. The constant pressure to dress well, behave well takes its toll. Whether you are a musician or an actor or politician, it gets to you eventually. Today we will take a look at famous musicians who battled alcoholism, drug abuse and have sought the help of alcohol addiction treatment facilities. Many lost their lives, many won the battle and others are still struggling.
