Speaking to the recently, the singer said: “James Arthur of X Factor was probably always high. I’m much more present and more here [now].” Arthur has previously opened up about his struggles with drug abuse. In September, he told: “My lowest moment was when I was going to bed, I’d take 15 pre-rolled joints and smoke one after the other, popping anti-depressants.

Maybe it’s the lifestyle or maybe it’s something else, but for the most part he seems to be handling things okay since he’s still around and doing what he loves to do.

The amusing thing is that some fans would be hard-pressed to say just who is their favorite when it comes to the music.
