I'm probably the only person I know who isn't shocked by this at all. There was an article in a Q magazine once and said something about how they used to drink loads on the tour bus. Though I didn't know about the cocaine thing.
Who said anything about cocaine..? I have heard the "drugs" were something like sleeping pills or sedatives he took to get sleep or something. Combined with tons of alcohol, that can't do any good.
P.S:Tom is a sweet, hobbit-looking guy, don't you dare make fun of him.

Yes! My friends were calling him Sam Gamgee.
And we too thought he looked so incredibly knackered.
But yeah out of all the people in rock (ok, some of you say it isn't rock...) possibly the one you'd least expect to have a drug/alcohol problem.
I think you're all being very harsh. I know it seems silly that rich people with too much money go into rehab, but it's not like he goes out and asks for sympathy. He had pressures on him (don't come back with "he isn't homeless he doesn't know pressure, not relevant"), he strayed from the track, he's now getting back on it. Good on him.
I apologise for this random comment that I am fully aware adds nothing to le discussion, but hey:
He is an arrogant, albeit highly average artist whose face not only looks like it has NO edges, but resembles very much melted stilton (cheese of choice).
Saw them at V - underwhelming and creepy, then again they were competing with Beck, Regina Spektor and Radiohead...
I saw them in France, and he told the French how great they were for "having the guts to stand up to their government whenever they planned to do something unpopular, unlike the Brits who are totally apathetic despite having a PM who brownnoses George Bush and is a spineless coward".

Load of toss!
Funny how it takes going to another country to say that
When I saw Richard Ashcroft a couple of months ago he'd go on and on about the government before each song and he ended his speech with the line 'music and politics don't mix' referring to Tony Blair's guitar-playing antics.
How can keane call themselves a band when they dont have a guitarist. Ok, maybe they are a band, but not a proper one, and that guy Tom Chaplin , nice name and face, not. Get yourself a guitarist or 2.
