They’ve had their moments of druggy self-destruction but now Primal Scream are fighting fit and back with one of their strongest albums in years. Singer Bobby Gillespie discusses chemical overkill, working with Belfast’s David Holmes and how seeing Thin Lizzy in concert changed everything for him...

There’s a classic yarn about Primal Scream in the early ‘90s that indicates just how hair-raising life once was for the Scottish hell-raisers.

More Light is out now. Primal Scream play Forbidden Fruit on Sunday June 2.
