I think you're missing the point of Corrigan's statement. His bandmate *was in rehab*, he'd realized he had a problem and was doing something about it. This is the point where you need a support structure, something to return to when you get out.
Corrigan turned his back, and said "fuck you", that disgusts me. I understand, better than most that you have to hit rock bottom before you seek help, I've been down that road. Scott A.
