The interview by Stephen Rodrick reveals that Johnny welcomed the reporter over the course of three nights by showing off "two equal piles of tobacco and hash" — but doesn't get started on his drugs before saying: "Well, let's drink some wine first."

Johnny has insisted, however, that he gave “hard liquor” after an intervention in 2004 — but insiders had already told The ENQUIRER that the star still drinks to excess. A current legal battle includes

Dr. Stuart Fischer, who hasn't treated Johnny, told The ENQUIRER just days before the Rolling Stone interview that the 55-year-old star's “cadaverous” look has him “showing signs of liver failure!” Dr. Fischer added: “Due to alcohol and drug abuse, anything could happen to his liver — including complete shutdown!”

"Alice can't be babysitting Johnny," says an insider, "but you can be sure that he'll never show up drunk for a Hollywood Vampires show. He knows that Alice would throw him right off the stage!"
