More Sum 41 Sum 41

Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley joined this week's episode of The Green Room with Neil Griffiths  and it is out right now!

Joining the show from LA, the Canadian vocalist discussed the band's new album Order In Decline (out now!), when fans can expect the group back in Australia and his life-threatening hospitalisation in 2014 which threw the future of Sum 41 up in the air. 

"We took a year off and within that year... I had no responsibility whatsoever anymore," Whibley told Neil Griffiths.

"We had an indefinite hiatus basically. We didn't know what we were gonna do. All I knew is that I wanted to take a year off from music. And in that year I just was not living very healthily and ended up in the hospital a year later... I took it too far."
