Seye Adelekan is the bassist for The Gorillaz and singer-songwriter who previously worked with Lana Del Rey, Emeli Sandé and Paloma Faith.
In this episode, Anna and Seye chat about how his addiction affected his relationship, how liquid courage did them dirty while dating, and the hat to ego ratio.
They’ll cover how his lifestyle of endless touring, parties, drugs and booze took its toll and ultimately how a life of excess led to recovery. Prepare to be inspired. Seye is serene AF and basically a walking quote.
Expect:
Rebuilding relationships in recovery
Post eating disorder recovery
Sober sex and intimacy
And other things. Lots of other things.
Content warning: Strong detail of drug and alcohol addiction and eating disorders.

CALM: Stay Tuned
This September, we’re taking part in Stay Tuned, a month-long event for the suicide prevention charity Campaign Against Living Miserably. We’re raising money for CALM’s life-saving services, needed now more than ever, to help people find ways to Stay. If you can, chuck in £12.20 - that’s the cost of answering a potentially life-saving call. You can donate to the Stay Tuned campaign here.
