The problem with fame – Psy, I’ve hit bottle to cope with fame

GANGNAM Style singer Psy has admitted he is a huge boozer who calls vodka his “best friend”.

South Korea’s biggest star, 35 — who also has a weakness for whisky and tequila — started bingeing as he struggled to cope with global fame.

He said: “If I’m happy, I’m drinking. If I’m sad, I’m drinking. If it’s raining, I’m drinking. If it’s sunny, I’m drinking. If it’s hot, I’m drinking. If it’s cold, I’m drinking.”

Psy added that he is hungover “a lot”.

It emerged in the wake of the song’s release that Psy had been jailed in Korea for just under a month in 2001 for marijuana possession.

And speaking about his stint in jail for the first time, he said it was a “horrible fall”.

He added: “But as an artist, the more experience, the better the creation. I’m a very positive person. So if s*** happens, I think maybe this happens because a huge amount of happiness is coming to me.”

Psy also revealed he has performed Gangnam Style 1,000 times in 20 different countries in the last year — and has not seen his wife and their twin five-year-old daughters since April.

There is a big prize for fame which many don't seem to know about. Fame can be killer as many have sadly found out. When fame is not well handled, it can result to unbelievable circumstances, including pains, drugs, addiction and even death.  So next time you ask God for it, remember this.
