Adrenalize - March 1992 Interview Quotes

"The last resort was to leave him alone, because we just couldn't do anything for him anymore. As well as my professional life, it was starting to mess up my private life, so I had to let it go."

"Through 1989-90, Clarkie was in rehab at least half a dozen times. When we were working in Dublin, he'd been found unconscious in a gutter in Minneapolis with an alcohol level in his blood of .59. That doesn't mean anything to you and me until I tell you that .41, apparently, killed John Bonham, and .30 is coma, so Steve was double-coma. And he lived, but he looked like a dead man when we saw him."
