6 d. ago The one change that worked: I sobered up – and started to listen to what my body was telling me

After years of partying, I realised the exhaustion and anxiety weren’t worth it, and turned my back on Friday night Fomo. I still enjoy the dancefloor, but I always know when to leaveMost of my adult life has revolved around music: clubs, bars, festivals, house parties – anywhere I could dance to loud music.

The movie also painted Elvis as a ...
