'Grateful' Deryck Whibley reflects on 10 years of sobriety and Sum 41's rise back to the top of their game


It's 10 years since Sum 41's Deryck Whibley nearly died from alcoholism and he's never been happier to be alive

Whibley, 44, is in a reflective mood in his latest social media post, recalling how he was at death's door 10 years ago when doctors warned he could die if he took so much as one more drink. "Today, our song Landmines went #1 on Billboard in both the U.S. and Canada across multiple formats making it our highest charting single, beating out Fat Lip and In Too Deep. Whibley goes on to thank stars who helped him through his dafkest days – Tommy Lee, Iggy Pop, Matt Sorum, Duff McKagan and John Feldmann.
