*Charlie Wilsons career was built to last. Who knew, given his wild past? <\/p>\n
The rejuvenated R&B singer has proven to the world hes got what it takes to evolve and stay alive in the industry. <\/p>\n
With his foundation as the lead singer of the Gap Band, the singers success wasnt without its trying moments. <\/p>\n
And in the wake of Whitney Houstons death, Wilson who knew her, opened up about his drug of choice. <\/p>\n
I try real hard, Wilson tells The BoomBox. First of all, I left alcohol and drugs behind me and that was one of the things that weighs a lot on your shoulders. Its been 18 years [of sobriety] for me, nothing but water. It allowed me for all these years to just focus on music. <\/p>\n
He added that drugs were also a huge part of his life. It took him on a ride that he does not think about going back to, admitting that his love was cocaine. He ended up homeless, desperate for rescue. <\/p>\n
He made it though. <\/p>\n
Throughout the years, Wilson has worked with artists like Mystikal, Kanye West, and Snoop Dogg. <\/p>\n
And since his return to music, hes leading the charts with his latest project Just Charlie. It doesnt stop there. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
