I ended up alcoholic and totally dependent on various other substances. I mean, I had a blast, we all pushed it, but I took it too far. I can\u2019t comprehend how I could have done it, how I could have smoked a pack of cigarettes a day and all the rest, and stayed up all night and then gone to the next concert and played. But it has a way of convincing you that you can\u2019t do anything without it. I played music high for so long, I didn\u2019t know how to do it sober.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>When the Eagles reunited in 1994 after 14 years apart, it was on condition that Walsh cleaned up. \u201cIt was terrifying going on stage. I had to learn how to do everything all over again, sober. My sense of humour was maybe the last thing to come back. It\u2019s better now. I\u2019m so grateful that I\u2019m alive, \u2019cause a lot aren\u2019t. I hit bottom before I OD\u2019d and a lot of my friends did it the other way around.\u201d Walsh pauses, eyes misting up. \u201cI don\u2019t know why I\u2019m here and they\u2019re not but I am here, and part of my responsibility is to do a really good job and show people that there is life after total dependency.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Source: The Telegraph<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to an inteview with the UK newspaper The Telegraph, Joe Walsh stated:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3039","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3039","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3039"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3039\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3039"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3039"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3039"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
