I was tired of my life and feeling pretty suicidal."I got off the plane and phoned my dad. I'd told him that I'd left the band and that I was falling apart. I checked myself into The Priory."During his stay at world famous rehab centre The Priory, Tom said he felt as if he'd been "brainwashed" and had "joined a cult".
