About this listen

In Part 2 of Rock n Roll All Night, Nova Starwick and Dorian Prescott explore the transformation of rock's most self-destructive icons into sober, grounded, and legendary survivors.

This episode examines powerful recovery stories from Alice Cooper, Rob Halford, Slash, Ozzy Osbourne, Nikki Sixx, and more — artists who nearly died from addiction and returned with clarity, purpose, and new lives.

Hear how these musicians rebuilt their careers, healed their bodies, reconnected with their families, embraced spirituality, and ultimately found meaning beyond the chaos.

If Part 1 was destruction, Part 2 is resurrection.
