Belinda Carlisle wanted more male groupies when she was in The Go-Gos.The flame-haired singer, who admits she loved making men uncomfortable when she was in the all-female punk band, says she experimented with sex and drugs because it was expected of her.She told Seven magazine: "Our behaviour was designed to horrify. You have to remember that girls behaving badly at that time was a rarity. "We did everything male rockers did, and more - except for the sex. I have to say, we always wanted to have male groupies, but we scared them off. "I remember thinking to myself, 'OK, I'm young and I'm a musician. People are going to have certain expectations. They're going to think I'm a flake, a drug addict and irresponsible - so I might as well become all those things.' "The 48-year-old - who also enjoyed success as a solo artist - says she soon became addicted to drugs.She revealed: "I remember thinking it was so cool, at least to begin with. We'd just turn up in the dressing room and there would be all this cocaine, or whatever, just waiting for us."0Comments | Be the first to comment!
