Andre 3000 Says Playing Jimi Hendrix Saved His Life

In a rare new interview with the New York Times, Andre 3000 of Outkast says his role in the new Jimi Hendrix biopic saved him from depression. 

"Honestly, I needed it in my life, too. Hendrix kind of saved me. I was in a not-so-great space, just in a dark place every day," 3 Stacks revealed. "I needed something to focus on to get me out of my depression and rut. Sometimes, when you're alone, you can let yourself go. I knew if I got on a train with a lot of different people, then I couldn't let them down." 

The ATLien also spoke on his "horrible" showing at Coachella and the advice he received from Prince afterwards, fatherhood, being a 40-year-old rapper, and his collection of unreleased songs.
