Guitarist Tom Kaulitz of the alternative rock band Tokio Hotel told a German newspaper Friday he overdosed on Viagra and could not see straight for two days.
Kaulitz, 20, told Bild newspaper that he was offered a Viagra tablet during a concert tour of Asia.
“I first asked the seller, ‘Do I look like someone who needs help with that?'” said Kaulitz, whose brother Bill is the group’s lead singer. “He said, ‘no’ – but that I should nevertheless try it out. I popped one in.”
Then he popped another one – and fell ill. Kaulitz said he took a few more of the tablets used to treat impotence when he got back to his hotel. “The next morning, my head was pounding and everything in front of my eyes was blurry. It wasn’t fun anymore. It was pretty bad,” Kaulitz said.
