SYNOPSIS




Duff McKagan nearly drank himself to death, he was one of the founding members of Guns N' Roses - a band famed as much for its bad behaviour as for its music.


But for Duff McKagan, that stopped when - as he puts it - his pancreas exploded.


So he sobered up and went to university.


Now, alongside his financial column for Playboy, he runs a wealth management firm.


So how does the bad boy of rock become a businessman?
