In a good, safe place receiving treatment. Finally. Surrounded by sweet patients and kind staff. My friends and family have been immeasurably supportive. You lot continue to be my rock. I miss Maggie but I wouldn’t be anywhere else right now. Onward, upward, psyche ward.

Wow, hard to believe that little over two weeks ago I was dead for 8 minutes, and on life support for a following 36 hours. Apart from numbness down one side, and no voice, I'm in good health. Massive thanks for all that have supported me. Finally feeling grateful for my life 😇

I am grateful for my health. I don't think this enough. I don't know a lot of 55 year old men still running around stages, excited about the music they're making. It's fucking crazy that I got this far and still have plenty of gas in the tank. And I am grateful for your support.

Sorry for last night in Exeter. I’m having trouble touring without my dog, which, to a non dog person, makes no sense. I get it. She isn’t a human, but she makes it possible for me to deal with my own, very human issues. I suffer from depression. It is very real. Anyway, sorry.

Life is fragile. Eat the nice food. Drink your favourite drink. Ditch your shit job and try to live out your dreams. Every day. Planning for the distant future is futile. The distant future will be ugly. Today can still be beautiful. Grab it by the lugs and kiss it on the gob.

Didn’t expect to be saying this six weeks ago, but life is good. Really good. Eliminating everything from your life that doesn’t serve you works, and is available for anyone. It is possible to rescue your life, you just have to put in the graft.

My generation’s Queen, and she was amazing. The Monarchy is over and it ended with an amazing final act. Fitting that the last of Britain’s royalty turned out to be an icon, a classic, a strong as fuck mother, a loyal partner and a truly great woman.

I still struggle with bands charging for meet & greets. Making fans pay to meet you might be ‘the done thing’, but it doesn’t make it ethical. I didn’t pay to meet any of the bands I loved as a kid. What are your thoughts?

Mental Health Awareness Day is actually quite accurate. Your mental health awareness should be a daily routine...be kind to yourself, allow wobbles, be aware of your mood, avoid triggers and make it to bedtime. Every day. One day at a time.

To anyone suffering from chronic depression. No one knows how brave you are. But I do. Fellow sufferers do. We know how hard this battle is. When your own mind is the worst enemy you could ever know, that is a fight with no winner. This is so unfair. So fucking unfair.
