Ulrich told TheQuietUs.com it was Noel Gallagher’s own method of quitting the drug that inspired him to do the same and he also revealed he is a big fan.
He said: 'A couple of years ago I was like, 'You know? Enough of this. I don’t need it.’ It was literally something that happened one morning, like 'Y’know? Fuck that’.

Amy Winehouse has been voted the celebrity with the worst skin.

Despite a huge push from her record label, the album flopped in the US - not even making the top 100 of the American album charts.

The band has already been behind a well-hyped publicity stunt to raise awareness of the album.
