Glenn Hughes was known for his massive drug addiction. It came as a surprise to a lot of people when they found out he had gotten sober. And has been sober for now, so far, 25 years.
He said "G'mornin everyone. so full of gratitude, for these past 25 years of clean & sober living. I give thx each & every morning, for another day on planet earth. sending my love to my sober brothers & sisters, and more importantly to those who are still suffering. #loveistheanswer". He posted this on his Twitter account. He even received congratulations from various people in the music industry, including Frank Bello of Anthrax.
In a 2016 Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction segment on Loudwire, Hughes talked about his years of substance abuse and the path to sobriety he currently walks. "I can't remember the 80s." He's been with various bands over the years, including Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, The Dead Daisies, California Breed and Black County Communion. You can read more about the path to sobriety he chose to walk in the excellent autobiography Glenn Hughes: The Autobiography: From Deep Purple to Black County Communion. In it he does not hold back on what it is like to be an addict. He lays it all out on what it's truly like to be addicted to drugs. It's written by him and Joel McIver.
