Maroon 5’s Adam Levine, opens up to Blender magazine’s June issue (on stands now) about being labeled a manwhore, breaking his sternum and the name of his band.
On being called a “manwhore� by the tabloids: “If being single and enjoying being 28 and having a wonderful time is being a manwhore, then I’m a manwhore…I don’t apologize for my behavior; it’s certainly exaggerated in the press.�
On breaking his sternum last year while lifting weights: “I was working out backstage with the kind of cable pulleys that you put onto a doorstop. James Valentine, our guitar player, opened the door and basically this really thick rubber cable with a metal carabiner on the end of it snapped with the force of what seemed like a bullet, and hit me right in the middle of my chest. It could have killed me. It lacerated my chest right down the middle, and I had to go to the hospital. I did perform that night, though. They pumped me full of drugs, and I was so high that I actually wanted to play.�
On why he traded one awful band name, Kara’s Flowers, for another: “What’s in a name? The band makes the name; the name never makes the band. As we all know, the Beatles is a hideous name for a band. And they’re the best band that ever lived.�
