Gilbert tells the Tennessean that he was ready to leave rehab when he found himself in a room with Urban, also a former addict.
I told him, I don’t think I can do my job. I don’t know if I can ever play a song at my shows without being (messed) up. Or writing, I was worried my songs wouldn’t be the same, that I wouldn’t be on everyone else’s level,” Gilbert recalls to the Tennessean. “It’s a drinking environment.”
