DR JOHN IS PEAKING AT 67 AFTER THREE DECADES ON DRUGS

Rocker DR JOHN is peaking at the age of 67 - eighteen years after kicking his heroin habit.
The pianist was addicted to the deadly drug for a staggering 34 years, and claims it seriously hindered his music-making.
He says, "(Being straight) gives me more time for music. When you're out there ripping and running in the streets, you don't have a lot of time to do a lot of things. I was always scratching and scrambling, trying to do 40 things to support in a narcotic habit."
