And then, he became the darling of the MTV generation and won a Grammy in his 60s. Now, with the publication of his memoirs, the 72-year-old crooner reveals that he was once a heavy drug user. “At every big party I’d go to, people were high on something, ” he writes in “The Good Life, ” about the heady Hollywood days in the 1970s.
