The combination of the high running through his veins and the music beats running through his mind left the singer in a state of bliss.

The soundtrack which raised him higher than he had ever been was German dance album Trans-Europe Express by Kraftwerk.
Speaking about his ‘trip’ on his Apple Music series Rocket Hour, the singing legend admitted that it’s a record he will never forget.
He explained:
“I love that because it was the first record I ever heard that really sounded German as far as pop music went. I remember smoking a joint and listening to it on really loud speakers and I thought I saw God during that album.”

Last year, the singer shared his experience of recovery 29 years after giving up substance abuse.
taking to Instagram, he revealed that saying the words “I need help” out loud saved his life.
The star penned:
“29 years ago today, I was a broken man.
“I finally summoned up the courage to say three words that would change my life: ‘I need help’.
“Thank you to all the selfless people who have helped me on my journey through sobriety. I am eternally grateful.”
John is married to his husband David Furnish and he recently celebrated his 73rd birthday in lockdown.
