Duran was living the rock star dream. Signed to a label by his early 20s after a youth spent touring in bands, he was on a fast track to success. But when the music stopped, the party didn't. What began as straight-edge pride crumbled into a chaotic addiction to alcohol, pills, and psychedelics, fueled by the high-stakes environment of the music industry and a toxic relationship in the Las Vegas desert.

In this raw and emotional interview, Duran recounts his "rock bottom" at a music festival, where a cocktail of vodka, mushrooms, and acid led to a terrifying ego death and a stark realization about the life he was wasting. He opens up about the cringe-worthy drunk texts, the financial ruin, and the moment his childhood best friend intervened, ultimately driving him to rehab. This is a powerful story for anyone who has ever tried to outrun their demons, only to find that everywhere you go, there you are.
