Keane's Tom Chaplin says the dark times are behind him

Keane singer Tom Chaplin tells the BBC he feels enthused about making music again, two years after a dark period involving drink and drugs.

Now, if you, like me, have been have trouble sleeping for several years now worrying about poor old Keane boy Tom Chaplin and his drink drug traumas, well, good news, those times are very much behind the man.

He told the BBC last week: "I feel enthused and excited about making music again and being in Keane, and that was certainly not a situation we were in a couple of years ago. Although it was a very dark period, it was two years ago, and it seems very distant to me. In fact I feel so distant from it nowadays that it's hard to talk about it with any great authority because it was such a strange period of my life. I almost feel like it was someone else's life".

If you need something new to lose sleep over, well the new Keane album 'Perfect Symmetry' is out next month. That should do it.
