\nContactmusic.com quotes him as saying: “I got there completely fried having not slept for two or three days. I got off the plane at Sri Lanka and thought, ‘Okay, where’s the guy with the limo?’ I’m looking around and an Indian guy comes over and says, ‘Nick?’ I said, ‘Yeah, where’s the car?’

\n“Literally, as I arrive, they’re filming and I’m walking down to the beach in a complete daze, and an elephant walked passed me on the street. I thought I was hallucinating.”
