Ex Bullet For My Valentine bassist Jason "Jay" James has revealed that he drank for four months straight after getting kicked out of the band. According to Blabbermouth.net, he said, "When all that happened, on a Thursday it kind of happened, I found out, and it was a shock. And I didn't want Monday to come, because it was too much to deal with, so I thought, 'I'll just get f*cked up for now and I'll deal with all of that on Monday.' But Monday didn't come for four months. And I just kept on hiding behind the alcohol in my house, which is what happened to me, 'cause I didn't know what to do."
He continued, "All I'd done for the last 10, 12 years was play guitar on stage, tour, management, all that kind of stuff. And then suddenly I felt like there was nothing; I didn't know what to do. So the answer to me was in my friend alcohol. So that's what I did. And that got out of control, which led me to get some help and go into rehab and become sober, to where I am now."
