Dark Star

For the past year, Australian Story has been filming with the musician lauded as one of the best voices in the business, as he gets his life and career back on track. In a raw and unfiltered account, Alex Lloyd speaks exclusively about overcoming a five-year prescription drug addiction that followed in the wake of a 2009 court case where he was accused of stealing his hit song, Amazing. The case was dropped mid-trial and the court awarded Alex costs, but he lost his marriage and his impetus to write music, which had always been his solace. Now aged 50, and almost three years free of addiction, Alex is preparing to release his first collection of new music in 12 years.
