Tom Grennan, the talented singer who rose to fame in 2016 and has released two albums since then, recently shared a story about how The Libertines star Pete Doherty saved him from the clutches of drugs at the early stages of his music career. Grennan admitted that he was in a dark place before the Covid-19 pandemic hit. He was skilled at hiding his drug use or continuing to perform while under the influence. Grennan believes that the pressures of the industry, along with feelings of impostor syndrome and an inflated ego due to his success, contributed to his downward spiral. Additionally, he had surrounded himself with individuals who posed as friends but were merely using him for their own benefit, whether it was a place to stay or financial assistance.
Fortunately, Grennan’s manager received an alarming call from Pete Doherty’s band, The Libertines, stating their concerns about Grennan’s well-being and his spiraling behavior. This wakeup call made Grennan’s manager realize that Grennan needed help. It is worth noting that despite his tumultuous past, Pete Doherty has managed to turn his life around and is now happily married and living in France.
Grennan has been candid about his struggles with alcohol-induced anxiety and how it led him to cut back on his drinking habits. The singer realized during the lockdown period that he needed to make changes in his lifestyle, so he decided to stop drinking altogether. Nowadays, he only drinks occasionally, usually having a couple of drinks after a performance. He dislikes the anxiety and dread he experiences the day after consuming alcohol.
Recently, Grennan released a new track titled “How Does It Feel Now” from his highly anticipated third album. He embarked on a successful 10-date arena tour earlier this year, garnering praise for his efforts to make tickets for his 2023 tour as affordable as possible. Unlike other artists who have kept their ticket prices high despite the current cost of living crisis, Grennan consciously decided to keep his ticket prices at a reasonable rate, allowing more people to attend his shows.
Grennan expressed his concern for people struggling to make ends meet and emphasized his desire for his concerts to be a source of joy and escape for his fans. He acknowledged that many artists have chosen to capitalize on the demand and increase their ticket prices significantly, but he considers this to be unfair.
As Grennan gears up for the release of his new album, “What Ifs & Maybes,” in June, he revealed that he is most excited to perform a new song called “Head Up.” The album is a departure from his previous work, as it explores themes of spontaneity and stepping out of one’s comfort zone. Grennan’s focus is to inspire his listeners to believe in themselves, take control of their destinies, and find happiness in the face of adversity. He wants his songs to evoke a sense of joy and encourage his audience to let loose and have a good time.
Overall, Grennan’s journey from battling addiction to finding his artistic voice is a testament to his resilience and growth. His upcoming album promises to be his most compelling work yet, showcasing his evolution as a songwriter. Grennan aims to create an immersive experience for his fans, providing them with a musical escape and instilling them with a positive outlook on life.
