This week, Billy got on the phone to Tommy Vext, lead singer and founder of the American hard rock band Bad Wolves.

Bad Wolves first found mainstream success with their powerful cover of the Cranberries hit, Zombie. Tommy discussed the tragic death of Cranberries lead singer Dolores O'Riordan - she was booked to sing on the cover in London with the band but passed the night prior. 

Tommy has had a very troubled background complete with family heartbreak including his own brother trying to murder him and having to testify against him before he was sent to jail.

Tommy has also struggled his whole life with PTSD as a result of it, including an alcohol and drug addiction that got so bad that he almost took his own life.

Tommy has been clean and sober for 10 years and when he's not touring the world, he spends his time recording music to help people stay clean.

This interview was a very heavy chat for Billy, even choking up during it.

Bad Wolves release their highly anticipated follow up album NATION on October 25th
