SIMPLY Red frontman Mick Hucknall has told how heroin made him sick and cocaine turned him “wooden”.
Mick, 59, said he hated taking drugs and prefers alcohol — limiting himself to half a bottle of wine a day.

The singer said he had “tried everything” and once lived with a heroin addict. Mick recalled: “Smoked it. I felt woozy and threw up.”
He said he has also been around cocaine “all my working life”, adding it was “pointless” and “makes you feel like wood”.
The star denied a previous claim he slept with 3,000 women in just three years in the 1980s — and said a report mixed up the figures.
Asked about the real number, he said: “I have no idea. I don’t put chips on the bedposts. I do not treat or talk about women like that.”

He told The Sunday Times magazine he was now a “moderate drinker”, adding: “I’ll have half a bottle a night, max.
“I’m also dry and vegetarian two days a week.”
