Chris Wolstenholme goes sober after 'full meltdon'

Chris Wolstenholme, Muse rocker, has vowed to quit drinking after he drank so much he vomited blood and suffered a 'full meltdown'.

The bassist confessed last year he had been forced to face his drink demons after he realised he was an alcoholic.

Now he has opened up with regards to the severity of the hell, revealing he vowed to sover up after turning 30 as he realised he was killing himself and going insane.

He tells Q Magazine: "I was actually losing my mind. I had to drink to get out of bed in the morning. It got to the point one Christmas morning where I was actually puking up blood. But you're so out of it. My rational thought at that time was, 'Oh I won't drink spirits today, I'll just drink beer.'

  "You just don't think properly. You don't really consider that you're killing yourself. Or even if you do, you get to the point where you just don't care about anything any more... I had my 30th birthday and suddenly realised how unhealthy and unfit I felt. Literally one day, something just hit me. I had a full meltdown really."

Wolstenholme managed to sober up after detoxing during a 'week of hell' and his bandmates are so proud of his achievement.

Frontman Matt Bellamy says: "It's something that he came to terms with in his own way. He's done very well, y'know. He's been off it for a long time now."
