Nollsy: "I'm Not A Pisshead, It Was The Meds! The Meds, I Tell Ya!"

Bloody hell, Shannon Noll's still carping on about his disastrous performance at the CMC Rocks The Snowys concert a month ago.
Shannon Noll has blamed antibiotics for a ramshackle concert performance in Thredbo last month, which led to criticism of the Idol star.When he appeared at the CMC Rocks The Snowys festival, Noll was accused of slurring his way through his set.The singer has revealed his embarrassment about the performance, saying he was on antibiotics at the time and misjudged the effects of mixing three beers with the medication.
"I had a bit of a shocker," Noll said. "I was particularly disappointed in myself. I got a throat infection - so I was on some pretty solid antibiotics. Had the normal couple of beers - three beers - before I went on. I got out there and five minutes later, whoa ... but that's no excuse. I've definitely got to win back some trust."
Interestingly, Shannon's original apology for the incident made no mention of antibiotics.
In a statement to The Telegraph late today, Noll said: "It is with great regret that I acknowledge, by my actions during my performance on Saturday night, that I have disappointed my fans, the organisers of CMC Rocks The Snowys, and my band. I apologise unreservedly.
"As a result I am taking the necessary steps to ensure that it never happens again."
Did it take him a month to remember he was on meds? Is forgetfulness, along with the irrepressible urge to bang on about how proud you are to be a country boy, another side effect of these mysterious drugs? Wonderful! We're gonna have to get our hands on some in time for the weekend...
