John Taylor (Duran Duran) quote of support for Road Recovery
From John Taylor (Duran Duran):
"I was first made aware of Road Recovery a couple of years ago and immediately thought it was the most fantastic of ideas: A therapeutic community for young people who want to make music, where there is something to unite and focus them, other than the issues and challenges that they face on a daily basis. Road Recovery offers a safe, drug and alcohol-free place to learn and work, and, with professional guidance, introduces them to all aspects of the business - from song-writing and performance to the delivery of their music to the fans, either live or via recordings. The kids are absorbed and dedicated, and have goals to work towards. What has been started on the East Coast, can be replicated across the country, providing a very unique and practical level of support for kids who are battling either addiction or any number of other adversities".
"I am really proud to be able to contribute my voice and support to the cause!"
