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."
