Jack Antonoff shared how a harrowing experience with grief led him to stop doing drugs.
In an interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe on Tuesday, the three-time consecutive Producer of the Year and Non-Classical Grammy winner sat down for a heart-to-heart about music, his band Bleachers, and working with major artists like Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey.
At Electric Lady Studios in New York City, a musical landmark where legendary albums have been recorded, from David Bowie's Young Americans and Jimi Hendrix's Electric Ladyland to Taylor's Folklore and Frank Ocean's Blonde — Jack recalled an experience from his past that changed his perspective on drug use forever.
According to Jack, he experimented with drugs while he was 18 years old, touring with his band Steel Train while still grieving the death of his younger sister, Sarah, who died of brain cancer at 13 year
