But yeah, Elton definitely had some nose candy.

(33,643 posts)7. IIRC Clapton got sober in 1982 but then had a relapse
And went back into treatment for the last time in 1987.
My bet is Clapton was also partying hard at something like this in 1986.

And almost, if not all, of these musicians were pretty central at Live Aid.

I know Pete Townsend used to perform at them occasionally, but never saw Mick or Keith.
At this point none of them were speaking to each other also, I don't think.
