Keane's Tom Chaplin back on stage after rehab

Keane frontman Tom Chaplin has returned to the stage in Hull after treatment for drug and alcohol addiction, describing his recovery in an interview with Radio 1.

Keane frontman Tom Chaplin returned to the stage in Hull earlier this week following treatment for his drug and alcohol addictions. He told his audience at the gig that the event felt like "a big group therapy session".

Chaplin has explained in an interview with Radio 1 that his life had become unmanageable before he went into rehab back in August, saying "you walk to the edge of the cliff and look into the abyss, and either kind of jump off or turn around. Thankfully, it was the latter."

The singer continued: "I wasn't happy and I wasn't enjoying myself. When your life becomes unmanageable that's when you have to do something about it." Chaplin, who left The Priory two weeks ago, added that he was "taking it as it comes".
