Rock star Sting quit taking cocaine in the early 1980s, because it blocked up his sinuses. The singer is grateful the illegal drug disagreed with him and he avoided a dependency on it, like so many of his contemporaries.

The Police frontman tells Mojo, "I'm sure cocaine is horrible. It makes you feel uncomfortable in your skin. I was lucky I couldn't get much of it into my system because it always blocked up my sinuses.

"I realized it was so stupid taking it that, some time after we recorded Ghost In The Machine, I did it one last time, said some kind of ritual incantation and got rid of the rest. I never took it again."
