(FOX NEWS) – Country star Chris Stapleton is talking about his decision to get sober – and how he did it without rehab.
A musician whose pre-show ritual once included a shot of tequila, Stapleton knew he had a problem. "I didn’t have to go to rehab, but from a 45-year-old-man health perspective, a doctor’s gonna look at me and go, ‘Hey, man, probably cut out the drinking,’ and I’d be like, ‘Okay, cool,'" he said.
The singer-songwriter has been sober for several years. His pre-show preparation now consists of vocal exercises. Stapleton writes about his former routine on his upcoming album "Higher," specifically on a track titled "The Bottom."
