Psy: I’ve hit bottle to cope with fame

    GANGNAM Style singer Psy has admitted he is a huge boozer who calls vodka his “best friend”.

    South Korea’s biggest star, 35 — who also has a weakness for whisky and tequila — started bingeing as he struggled to cope with global fame.

    He said: “If I’m happy, I’m drinking. If I’m sad, I’m drinking. If it’s raining, I’m drinking. If it’s sunny, I’m drinking. If it’s hot, I’m drinking. If it’s cold, I’m drinking.”

    Psy added that he is hungover “a lot”.

    It emerged in the wake of the song’s release that Psy had been jailed in Korea for just under a month in 2001 for marijuana possession.

    And speaking about his stint in jail for the first time, he said it was a “horrible fall”.

    He added: “But as an artist, the more experience, the better the creation. I’m a very positive person. So if s*** happens, I think maybe this happens because a huge amount of happiness is coming to me.”

    Psy also revealed he has performed Gangnam Style 1,000 times in 20 different countries in the last year — and has not seen his wife and their twin five-year-old daughters since April.
