August 2013 - John Grant

John Grant has not had an easy time of it. He’s struggled with alcohol and drug addiction, had painful break-ups, and was diagnosed HIV-positive a couple of years ago. Music is one way of dealing with the drama in life.

Grant talks about using humour to counteract difficult times and about his love for languages. He also tells us about his new album Pale Green Ghosts, which music makes him happy, and staying open and vulnerable to create music.
