Richard was known as “Mad Richard” early in his career when he was a heavy user of LSD but gave up drugs in the mid-1990s and went onto write the hit song “The Drugs Don’t Work”.
Speaking on Xfm, he said: “If there’s any drug addled rock star out there listening, all you’re going to be is a picture on a T-shirt in five years time on some poor kid who thinks you were cool.”
“But all you’ll be doing is rotting. There’ll be worms eating you.”
