The Script’s Danny O’Donoghue has shared an anecdote when one night on the town with Sir Tom Jones ended in a trip to A&E.
The story came about as he was chatting to The Mirror about how he and the band plan to celebrate after their Isle of Wight festival gig this week. Beginning he said:
“I think we’ll just go mental. You think Liam Gallagher is a hellraiser? Spend the night drinking with Tom Jones. He’s a drinking pro”
“One time we went drinking and every time the champagne went halfway down, he’d order another bottle. He wouldn’t let me leave the table until the bottle was finished”
Continuing on, Danny explained how the bender landed him in the emergency room.
“We drank champagne until 7am, then I had to get up early and drank a lot of coffee – I was hospitalised next day because I ended up getting heart palpitations”
“I’m not blaming Tom, I blame my ability to not say no”
Danny and Tom are friends from the time they spent together judging on The Voice UK pannel. Going on to say that he intends to take things easy this weekend while his bandmates live it up, Danny has just recently announced that he is currently Muay Thai fighter.
“The rest of my band want to party this weekend – I may have to take it easy.”
