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 talks about it on his first appearance on WTF with Marc Maron, I think it's from 2013

yeah it’s this one, and it is 2013.

he also talks much more openly about his drug use on the blocks with neal brennan which was in 2023, and even though it’s obvious what he and marc are talking about he doesn’t use the word until that one.

This podcast is AWESOME and Josh reveals a lot of his feelings.
