Grinspoon Star Betrayed Over Addiction Revelation

Thu, 12 Jul 2007 05:35:12 +1000

Grinspoon frontman Phil Jamieson has lashed out at the tabloid media, as well as the nurse who leaked details of his treatment for drug addiction.

Speaking to News Limited, Jamieson said he was betrayed by a nurse at the Sydney Rehabilitation Clinic where he was battling his addiction to crystal meth.

"My confidence, or my confidentiality, was completely raped," he said. "I was betrayed by the hospital I was staying at and that nurse was promptly fired. But before then, the story was out"

Jamieson also blasted the tabloid media for suggesting his addiction battle was a publicity stunt, performed in the lead-up to the release of Grinspoon's new album.

The singer is set to discuss his addiction battle on 'Enough Rope With Andrew Denton' on July 23, a week after Grinspoon's fifth album, 'Alibis and Other Lies', is released.
