Paul King's Addiction Busters
About Us
Paul has become an expert at helping people deal with addictions of all kinds. His own life was dramatically affected by alcohol abuse and he witnessed first hand the demise of many of his music business colleagues through alcohol and drug misuse.

Success
Excess
Stress
Mess
- one of the most successful pop concert promoters and artist managers of the eighties
- his artists sell over 32 million records
- co-promoter of ‘Knebworth - The Silver Clef Concert’ 1990 featuring Floyd, McCartney, Genesis, Dire Straits, Clapton, Elton John, Quo and Tears For Fears
- raised over £6 million for The Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy from one concert
- multi-millionaire
- while seemingly at the top of the game, Paul’s whole enterprise crashes
- a huge addiction to heavy partying, excess drinking and wild antics led to regular disastrous business decisions
- Paul loses everything, including his confidence in his Midas Touch within the music industry
- bankruptcy and even a prison term - a poignant but appropriate period for some serious reflection
Paul’s experiences of massive success, constantly sabotaged by his own behaviour, are legendary, though sadly far from unique. He has also watched many hugely successful colleagues implode through excessive use of alcohol and drugs and from enormous stress. For many, a collapse like this would spell the end of the road. For Paul, whose humour, charm and straightforward manner have always been matched by his prodigious work ethic and determination, it signalled a good moment to re-engineer himself...
