Amos no longer flies high on drugs

Veteran singer/songwriter Tori Amos used to get high on illicit drugs but now gets the same rush by looking out plane windows.

The 51-year-old musician rose to fame in the early 1990s. Before becoming a mother to daughter Natashya, Amos would dabble in various substances to help inspire her lyrics.

But now she gets the same rush from gazing out aeroplane windows.

“There’s something about seeing the land from thousands of feet away, you get a detachment and it frees your mind from specific issues you might be obsessing about,” she told Q magazine.

“It’s a similar altered state to my experiences in the 90s with good ecstasy and mushrooms - back when you trusted psychedelics and knew you wouldn’t die when you took them!”
