BLINK 182 - DELONGE'S BATTLE WITH PAINKILLERS

DELONGE'S BATTLE WITH PAINKILLERS

BLINK-182 star TOM DELONGE became hooked on prescription painkillers after the punk trio split in 2005 - and endured a difficult rehabilitation in a bid to cut the drugs out of his life.
The rocker, who has since reunited with Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus, admits he started to become dependent on medication he was taking for a back injury at the time Blink-182 split - and it went too far.
He tells the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine, "I was losing my mind because I was so hopped up on narcotics.
"(I) cut it cold turkey and sat in a room for two weeks, puking my brains out and hallucinating."
