The pair have been in the news recently for a number of incidents which include Carey allegedly assaulting Neilson on a number of occasions in the United States and was arrested at his South Melbourne apartment after allegedly assaulting an officer, police had to use capsicum spray to subdue Carey.
“We realize when we do drugs we’re as silly as one another,” Carey said.
“If we are to go forward together, we have to make those important changes.
“I really think I had to hit rock bottom, which I have now, before I was forced to make these changes.”
