U2's Adam Clayton reveals how rock stars helped him quit drink

U2 bassist Adam Clayton has thanked his bandmates, as well as The Who’s Pete Townshend and guitarist Eric Clapton, for helping him quit alcohol.

The recovering alcoholic said Townshend and Clapton were crucial in starting his recovery process, while the rest of U2 were there for him throughout.

Clayton, 57, was handed an award in New York City on Monday by MusiCares, a foundation he supports that helps musicians get treatment for addiction.
