Corey Taylor Credits Wife For Helping Him Kick The Bottle.

SLIPKNOT frontman COREY TAYLOR credits his wife SCARLETT for making him realise he had to stop drinking.

THE NAMELESS hitmaker, who was a cocaine addict and homeless at the age of 15, only decided to quit alcohol when his spouse made him take a look at himself in the mirror.

He says, "I was an alcoholic. It was really bad by the time we were recording SUBLIMINAL VERSES. I was out of control, hiding Jack Daniel's (whisky) bottles under my pillow.

"I would drink from the moment I got up until the moment I passed out, wherever that was. I didn't like it and my wife didn't like it, so she basically grabbed me by the hair and said, 'look at yourself!' "I was swollen and fucked up and I didn't realise it.

"The last night I drank, all I remember is we were at the Viper Room. I was spitting vomit at people walking down Sunset (Boulevard, Los Angeles).

"I almost got my ass kicked and wife just left, like, 'Fuck you! I can't take this.'"
