SEETHER FRONTMAN STARTED TO BURN OUT
Seether frontman Shaun Morgan pulled the band off the road in late July, after touring for over a year, and promptly checked himself into rehab for a month to rid himself of addictions to alcohol and drugs. Morgan told LAUNCH that he entered the program voluntarily because he was worried that he was losing control: "I personally started getting really bad. I was using by myself in the back lounge of the bus, and then I'm staying up 'til nine, 10 in the mornings and having to get up at 11 or 12 and start doing interviews and then, you know, meeting people and all that kind of stuff. So I was starting to burn myself out. I was getting to a point where I was afraid that I was gonna go too far and end up killing myself."
Seether will play some scattered live dates this fall but Morgan told LAUNCH that the band is concentrating on writing the follow-up to 2005's Karma And Effect, which he hopes to begin recording by November. Seether's latest release, an live acoustic CD/DVD package called One Cold Night, came out this summer.
The singer and guitarist is also engaged and will become a father for the second time in November. He has a young daughter from a previous marriage.
