Blur’s guitarist Graham Coxon has opened up about his worries during the height of the band’s success.
Coxon said he struggled to deal with fame, and the attention from some of the band’s more obsessive fans, whom he described as“unhinged”.
“You get unhinged people. People who are obsessive,” said the 53-year-old in an interview with The Idler.
Coxon explained that some intrusive attention had led to him worry constantly and suffer from insomnia.
“Until it happens to you, you don’t quite realise just what a nightmare that is,” he said.
“Months and months of not sleeping. Worrying every day, every hour of the day. It was awful,” he added.
Some superfans even made efforts to have engagements with Coxon’s girlfriends during the 1990s, he recalled.
“You’d be on tour and your girlfriend would have all these suitors, trying to get with your girlfriend.
