Terry Chimes has revealed how he gave up the 'craziness' of the music industry to beome a chiropractor.

The musician, 68, is best known for being the drummer for The Clash from the late 1970s to the early 1980s when he was replaced by Topper Headon.

After he left The Clash for the final time in 1982, Terry drummed for some other bands before opening a chiropractic clinic in 1994.

Speaing about the surprising career change on The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X, Terry admitted he thinks he's the only 'normal' person in the music industry.

He said: 'When I was a kid, I loved health and disease. I wanted to be a vet, actually, and three things put me off.

'One, that the patients bite you. Two, you spend all day killing animals. And three, they've got one of the highest suicide rates. So, I thought, 'Well, I'll stay away from that.'

'I thought about medicine, went for an interview at medical schools, but it just didn't seem right for me. And then I looked at The Rolling Stones, and thought, 'You know, those guys must be having the most fun it's possible to have.'

'So I thought, 'I'll just do that then.' So I joined a band, which in time became The Clash. We did very well and played with lots of other bands as well.'

The drummer eventually grew tired of life on the road and wanted to settle down and live a healthier lifestyle.
