Iggy Pop, Tommy Lee, Duff McKagan Helping Sum 41's Deryck Whibley

07/11/2014
. (Radio.com) Earlier this year, Sum 41's Deryck Whibley was admitted to the hospital with failure in both his liver and his kidneys due to years of drinking issues, which he noted could have resulted in his death if he had just one more drink.

In a new interview with Kerrang (via NME), Whibley talks about his support unit. "Now I'm sober, I don't get calls from certain people that I used to," he says. "Now I'm the bum-out to them. Who wants to invite the sober guy to the party? Y'know who has been incredibly supportive? Iggy Pop. He had a lot of great advice; he's been through it all. We've been friends for years."

"Same for Tommy Lee from M�tley Cr�e," Whibley says. "He told me what to expect from people, that not everyone will understand. Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum from Guns N' Roses have been great too. We go out for coffee and talk about sh*t." more on this story
