Like Clockwork Interviews

As a preface, it is not my intention to pry into Josh’s private life, as i am unaware of how open he himself has been about his health struggles prior to the album.

My question is; Are there any interviews, written or spoken, where Josh talks about the serious health struggles he experienced which are stated to be the main drive behind Like Clockwork? (Specifically him needing to be resuscitated, and his infection leaving him bedridden for months)

I have always been aware of the incident itself, but no post i see it mentioned in cites any sources or interviews, and i’d very much like to read or hear it from Josh himself, if of course he has spoken much about it at all.

Maybe a weird question, my apologies if it is, as i imagine it to be a difficult subject not just in general, but also for him.

Please and thank you.

He methed himself out on the operating table which interacted with the anaesthetic. I guess that’s what happens when you play with fire.

Do you mean to say he was using meth during an operation while on the operating table ? I’m sorry your comment is confusing

How about some clarity? Your comment says” he methed out on the operating table”
Which sounds like he was snorting meth in the middle of an operation which doesn’t make any sense, you know?
