Example has revealed that musicians need to take drugs to make their music better.

The rapper, who is working on his second album, admitted that he had taken plenty of drugs whilst making his debut.

"All artists today would be making better music if they took more drugs,it's a fact.

I think if you wanna make proper dance music, which is any good, it's important you've been to Ibiza and stayed up all night, so it definitely helps to take drugs," Example told the Daily Star.

He added: "I took drugs much more on my first album. I haven't written anything on drugs lately, so we'll see."

Meanwhile, Example has announced details of a headline UK tour, set to take place next year, it has been revealed.
