Oli Sykes Won’t Pander: ‘’I didn’t want to be the classic 'drug addict recovery story’"

Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes talks to APTV's Ryan J. Downey about life's (and music's) grey areas and, specifically, not wanting to glamorize or have his personal recovery from addiction be a typical “drug addict recovers” story, AKA what people expect to hear and want him to say. Sykes talked about his growth throughout Bring Me The Horizon’s career as well as addiction, combating stereotypes and crafting his music to reflect his point of view.
