Tommy Shaw Says He Spends More on Bird Seed Than He Did On Drugs

Tommy Shaw compared his investment in feeding birds to his former drug habits as he discussed the upcoming Styx album “Circling From Above.”

Shaw revealed that the album is a concept record about a starling, inspired by the life he lives today on a wildlife sanctuary. Shaw mentioned that he and his wife spend as much money on bird seed as he used to spend on cocaine.

Bandmate James “J.Y.” Young added, “But the seed hurts when it goes in your nose!”

“Circling From Above” is scheduled to be released in late May.
