The pose came after Matt’s documentary on addiction aired on the BBC and revealed the musician’s struggles with substance abuse, along with the strain it put on his relationships.
Matt checked into rehab four times in the last two decades and last relapsed in 2016 during his band Busted’s reunion tour.

At that time admitted he was addicted to the class A drug cocaine while his youngest child, Trixie was 10 months old.
The star said in the new documentary: ‘After one of our shows, someone offered me a line of coke, and I was like, ‘Oh, cocaine wasn’t a problem for me, alcohol was my downfall.
‘Within a month I was doing six grams on my own every f**king day and not coming home until three in the morning pretending I was working on an album, which I wasn’t really writing, I was making s**t music in the studio doing coke.’
Matt also opened up to The Guardian about how his struggles affected Emma and said: ‘I was the mastermind at gaslighting, making her think she was crazy.
