Drugs played huge part in David Bowie’s success, says former guitarist


Drugs played a huge part in David Bowie's early success, according to his former guitarist.
Carlos Alomar, who played guitar on 12 of Bowie's albums, claims that cocaine helped the rock star to be especially productive during the early stages of his legendary career.
He explained: "In order for him to stay up all night and finish the tasks at hand, it was a huge factor.
"Its function was to keep you alert, and that's what he was doing. It did not stop his creativity at all."
The guitarist, who is now the director of the Stevens Institute of Technology's Sound Synthesis Research Center, explained that Bowie's incredible popularity at the peak of his career in the 1970s and 1980s made it impossible for him to escape the party scene.
He told the New York Post newspaper: "He didn't have to buy anything, because everything was right there.
"We would be on the 18th floor of a hotel, and some fans would just rent the whole 17th floor, and they were all, 'Please hang out.' If you happened to have some money and could get a mountain of cocaine, you'd be like, 'Look, I got cocaine. Come to my place.'"

Last week, the band - which also includes Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik - were all asked about the traits they look for in a potential partner.
Liam was quick to say: "Female, it's a good trait."
However, Harry quickly replied by saying it's not "that important".
Meanwhile, Harry's former girlfriend Taylor Swift has revealed she gave up on men because she wanted people to focus more on her music.
The pair were dating until early 2013, and Taylor, 24, admits she didn't like being in the headlines for her love life.

Lorde sad Hunger Games work is done


Lorde is "heartbroken" to have finished work on 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1' soundtrack.
The 'Royals' hitmaker curated the music for the latest installment of the futuristic fantasy adventure series and was thrilled to work alongside artists like Grace Jones, Charlie XCX, Ariana Grande and Haim.
She said: "It was fun getting to approach my favourite musicians and just say something to them for this project.
"I feel like school camp has ended and I'm heartbroken this project is over."
And the 18-year-old singer admits she was very "teenage" in her approach to putting together the roster of artists who appear on the soundtrack because she relied heavily on social media to ask people to work with her.
Asked how she approached the artists, she said: "I DM-d (direct messaged) a lot of people and Instagram DM-d a lot of people.
"It wasn't very professional, it was very teenage.
"I guess we just kind of cold-called a lot of people and they were like, 'Who's this weirdo.' "
Lorde found the experience very different to putting together an album of her own because there were so many people to consider.
She said: "It's so different and I don't think I realised how different that would be.
"You really have to think about everyone else rather than yourself so much because you are involved with so many other artists and different demographics of people who are already into this film.
"I really felt responsibility to do something they would like, so hopefully there's something in it for everyone."
