'I was forced to learn this stuff'

Van Morrison has opened up on the hard realities of the music industry as he detailed struggles he faced as a young musician.

In the chat with Will Hodgkinson, the East Belfast man spoke about his time in the band Them in the 1960s, his reasons for leaving and the difficulties he faced when he moved to America and ended up penniless.Morrison, who had moved to America to sign a contract on a solo career, said there were "dark things going on" and he ended up stuck in America with no money at all.

"But you can go up or down in this business, and it all depends on whether you survive or not. Think of all the Sixties bands you never heard from again."
