Sterling Campbell was the drummer for British rock star David Bowie.
He started drumming in his childhood days, and became famous at a young age.
In those early years, he lived an unrestrained lifestyle, including many unhealthy addictions all too common in the rock ‘n roll world.
Then, in the mid ‘90s, he was introduced to a cultivation practice from the East and it changed his life forever.
