Al Jourgensen has more than a few tales of disaster and debauchery to share. Frontman of industrial metal legends Ministry for over 40 years, Jourgensen's battle with substance abuse has been well documented over the years - and contributed to several brushes with death, with two overdoses and an exploding stomach ulcer causing his heart to stop in 2010.
In a new, in-depth interview with The Guardian, the frontman has reflected on one of the more bizarre instances of his life, stemming from an incident where he had to have a toe amputated after stepping on a hypodermic needle.
