Sum 41 frontman and Avril Lavigne’s ex husband Deryck Whibley ended up in hospital this week after years of hardcore drinking finally caught up with him at 34 years of age. Caught up so bad in fact that his doctor advised him that one more drink could literally kill him. Here’s the message he left on his website earlier:
“Hey everyone, it’s Deryck here. Sorry I’ve been so m.i.a. lately, but I’ve been very sick in the hospital for a month and was pretty sick for a few weeks leading up to my trip to the hospital. The reason I got so sick is from all the hard boozing I’ve been doing over the years. It finally caught up to me.”
He said he’d been “drinking hard every day” until one day he poured a drink and sat down to watch a film and just collapsed into unconsciousness.
“My fiancé got me rushed to the hospital where they put me into the intensive care unit. I was stuck with needles and IV’s all over. I was completely sedated the FIRST WEEK. When I finally woke up the next day I had no idea where I was. My mum and step dad were standing over me. I was so freaked out. My liver and kidney’s collapsed on me. Needless to say it scared me straight.”

Yeah, not looking too great is he? Probably a good idea to take that doc’s advice on board and keep well away from the booze from now on. Imagine that though — getting completely wasted at home one day and then waking up in hospital A WEEK LATER wondering what the hell happened. First piece of news you’re given is that you can NEVER drink again. What a kick in the balls.
