England football legend Paul Gascoigne has revealed that he is taking guitar lessons to help him beat his addiction to booze and drugs.
According to the Daily Star, Gascoigne last turned his hand to music in 1990 when he made a version of Fog On The Tyne with Geordie band Lindisfarne.
He tweeted a picture with his guitar and said that he had been practicing on it recently.
However, at the weekend he was seen on the streets after missing the engagement party of his adopted son Mason Gascoigne, 23, the report said.
He looked shockingly thin and had cuts on his face and hands, the report added.
A source said that Gascoigne had clearly been in a bad phase, although he is insisting that he is doing his best to beat the drink.
