At best, they would insist that they’d been completely happy, at worst that they were “working through their issues together”. The moments when something in me knew that my husband didn’t love me, not any more.īefore my own breakup, I never much believed people who said that their relationship disintegrated out of the blue. I was digging up the earth to try and find the roots of our downfall, and these are the memories I came back to. But for months afterward, these tiny moments would flash into my mind, my brain trying to make sense of it. When he finally did walk out, I was once again struck with disbelief. I felt hurt and embarrassed and yet I still questioned whether I was making too much of it. When we went home that night, I slept facing away from him. It was a moment that seemed to shift my place in the world. It felt very cold all of a sudden, and I knew that something had changed without my knowledge. Without realizing it, he’d already vacated our partnership and in doing so, was able to laugh at me with somebody else. But I saw in that moment a complete lack of kindness. Perhaps that could have been taken as merely a brief moment of ridicule, or perhaps my hair did look silly. It transpired they both thought my hair looked ridiculous and they’d been making comments about it as I walked through the restaurant. I got to the restaurant later than everyone else and as I greeted them both, they burst out laughing. I met him, his sister and a few friends for dinner. The second memory I have took place a couple of weeks before my husband left.

Asking my husband to be nicer to me must’ve been some pathetic attempt to plaster over a much bigger crack than I could bear to see at that moment. I would try to buoy us up with irritating cheeriness, and when this inevitably failed, I would become despondent and anxious.

By that point in our relationship, I felt worn down from constantly having to anticipate his changing moods. We were on holiday and I was sitting in an expensive restaurant across from my husband, crying quietly and saying: “Can you please try and be nicer to me?” I don’t remember his reply, or what had happened at dinner to get us to that place, but I now look back and feel stunned that I got to a point in my life where I felt I had to ask my partner to be nice to me. I’m fucking done.” He added: “And my life changed 180 degrees from that moment.One is just a brief snapshot. On finally being released from hospital, he was told: “We have a rehab for you to go to.” But he replied: “You don’t understand. I fucked up, and I’m sorry I’m gonna make it better.’” He thought: “The order of things is wrong here, man – I should be taking care of her. She comes in in a wheelchair she’s crying, I got tubes coming out of me.” “My mom had Parkinson’s at this point, and I’m the youngest son. What happened next initiated the big change. “They were gonna do surgery and I wanted them to kill me, because I couldn’t take the pain,” the bassist said. And that's when I knew I was in trouble, because I knew what morphine should be doing.” He remembered his doctor’s face had “gone white” after realizing how close to death his patient was. I just laid down on the floor, and they hit me up with morphine – and it didn’t do anything. “And my best friend, he said … I can clearly hear it to this day: ‘Oh shit, it finally happened.’ … So he got me to the emergency room. He went on to recount how he’d woken up that May morning unable to move and barely able to breathe as his pancreas began to leak fluids into his other organs. “I literally didn't have a glass of water for 12 years, and I'm not kidding … I got to a point … where I just thought, ‘Well, I guess I’m just gonna get to about 30, and that’s gonna be it.’” When Hagar expressed horror at the thought, McKagan said: “But you’re okay with it – you're in this state of mind like, ‘That’s the way it is. I didn't drink any water I'd just drink alcohol,” he said.

In a newly-published clip from an episode of Sammy Hagar’s Rock & Roll Road Trip TV show, McKagan said he’d run away from his family after they’d tried to stage an intervention in the hope of getting him off drugs. He’d accepted he was going to die – until his sick mom visited him and he made an instant decision. He was rushed to the hospital in May 1994, at the age of 30, after his pancreas burst as a result of his lifestyle choices. Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan discussed the moment when he chose to escape from drugs and fight back to health.
