*He developed a drink problem, like his father before him. Just
alcohol? "Mostly alcohol. Some drugs as well. And wildness. A lot of

car.' Sometimes it was an exciting feeling, on the edge." But
ultimately destructive? "Self-destructive and self-loathing," he
acknowledges.

He once jumped from pillar to pillar on the roof of a 46-storey
building. And he literally hung, drunk, from the railings of a cruise
ship at five in the morning, singing `We Are Sailing'. They
wanted to throw him off next morning.
