Macklemore suffered an addiction relapse during the COVID-19 outbreak. The 'Thrift Shop' rapper has spent years battling drink and drug issues and previously spent time in rehab in a bid to tackle his demons, but he's now revealed he experienced a set back during the summer of 2020 after the pandemic hit but has since got sober again.

He made the revelation in a video posted on TikTok to his new song 'CHANT', writing: "I relapsed during the first summer of COVID.

Today I have 694 days clean. " In the song, he raps about his battle with addiction and references an overdose that put him in hospital.

He raps: "20k deep, better pull out your phones/Turnin’ the arena to believers every time I hit the ceiling/Ain’t nobody ever touchin’ my show/Look at where we started, look at where we got to/Almost OD’d that night in the hospital/Wasn’t gonna die, more life in the arsenal/Got another shot to pull off the impossible. " The 'Same Love' hitmaker entered rehab for drugs and alcohol addiction in 2008 and celebrated three years of sobriety until a relapse in 2011.
