The Clash drummer Terry Chimes reveals why he ditched showbusiness for very surprising career change


The musician, 68, is best known for being the drummer for The Clash from the late 1970s to the early 1980s when he was replaced by Topper Headon.

Speaing about the surprising career change on The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X, Terry admitted he thinks he's the only 'normal' person in the music industry. The drummer eventually grew tired of life on the road and wanted to settle down and live a healthier lifestyle. Surprised to hear of the career change, host Chris said he wasn't sure if he could give up the rock star lifestyle if it had been him.
