Brian Wheat of Tesla

Brian is far from your typical rock star. As bassist for the multi-platinum band, Tesla, he’s enjoyed the spoils of success and lived the sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle to the hilt. But it came at a cost, one that took years to repair. In our conversation Brian spoke about his new Memoir, his influences meeting his hero Paul Mcartney and a lot more. Brian was also very candid and shed light on the many challenges he faces, including bulimia, weight issues, and the crippling anxiety and depression caused by his conditions.
