Lightbody: 'I'm as sober as a judge'

Rex Features

Snow Patrol’s Gary Lightbody has said that rumours he has a drink problem are rubbish.

The frontman claimed a recent interview in which he discussed his alcohol intake was referring to a period in his life five years ago.

"That interview was about a time in my life when I was 26, 27, and out of control," he told the BBC.

"The journalist then used that interview to imply that this was an ongoing problem."

He continued: "I'm sober as a judge, fit, healthy, in good voice, in good spirits, in good mind.

"I enjoy a drink as much as anybody but I'm not an alcoholic."

Snow Patrol’s new single 'Take Back This City' is released on October 13.
