Bum To Another: Tim Burgess’ Embarrassing Drug Confession

Tim Burgess has confessed that his forthcoming autobiography, ‘Telling Stories’, contains depictions of somewhat unusual methods of drug taking.

‘We discovered the process of blowing coke up each other’s arses. There, I have said it. It’s not like we invented the practice but I realise now it’s not an everyday thing for most people.’ the glossy haired frontman is reported to have disclosed. ‘I was a giver and receiver. They say giving is better than receiving, but believe me, in this case the giving is not that great.’

‘You stick a cone pointy-end first into the participant’s anus, aim your straw into the cone and blow sharply, like firing a dart from a blowpipe. Then wait for it… yes! The participant jumps around the room as if someone has rubbed a fiery chilli on the spot.’

‘Telling Stories’ is published by Penguin on the 26th April 2012.
