Matt Willis revealed his wife Emma was worried he will relapse back into drink and drug use as Busted embark on their 20th anniversary tour. The 40 year old musician, who has been incredibly candid about his battle with addiction, is playing 15 shows throughout the UK across September to mark two decades of his band’s success in the music business.
And while he is enjoying being back in the limelight with Busted bandmates James Bourne and Charlie Simpson, he is all too aware of the pitfalls that life on the road can bring. In 2016, he had been sober for eight years when he went on tour with the band and was offered cocaine.
Taking up the offer plunged him back into addiction - and within a month he was taking six grams on his own every day.
Matt, who is five years sober now, will take to the stage in Nottingham, Newcastle and Leeds across this weekend - with his wife and three children more than 100 miles away at home on the outskirts of London. Speaking to The Mirror as part of its Men in Mind podcast series, which encourages men to open up, he said: “Being on tour has been a moment of relapse for me again and again and again.
Our life is really great…and a lot of people say to me, ‘Matt, why do you put yourself in a dangerous situation?’ “And it’s because I love it, and I really do, and I feel passionate about it, and I’m capable of doing that clean and sober. I am.
“Emma understandably worries about that, but I think she can see the work that I put in. She can see where I am, and see how open I am about everything.” Bass player Matt has been praised by fans for how honest he has been about his battle with drink and drugs - especially in his BBC documentary Matt Willis: Addiction and Me, released earlier this year.
