Eurovision’s Salvador Sobral uses cocaine to keep him going on tour

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Eurovision Song Contest’ winner Salvador Sobral said he uses cocaine to keep up his energy on tour.
The 28-year-old Portuguese singer won the annual competition last year, and he has now claimed he turns to the class-A drug in an effort to keep himself going on the road.
Appearing on Spanish TV show ‘El Hormiguero’ this week, he was asked for his secret, and responded: “Well cocaine helps a lot. Oh, I am sorry I forgot they told me this may be a family show.”
Sobral’s interview also caused waves after he took the opportunity to criticise ‘Eurovision’ just over a year after his triumph, and suggested it is not about musical quality.
He added: “I think its an entertainment visual show -music is not very important, it’s just a retail in the show.
“The song that won this year [‘Toy’ by Israeli singer Netta] is irrelevant to me. It doesn’t touch you – it just doesn’t say anything.”
However, he previously heaped praise on his own winning song – ‘Amar Pelos Dois’ (‘Love for Both of Us’) – which was penned by his sister Luisa.
He previously described the ballad as “an emotional song with a beautiful lyrical message and harmony – things people are not used to listening these days”.
His comments come after the star – who has suffered from a longstanding heart condition – underwent a heart transplant in December last year.
Speaking at the time, surgeon Miguel Abecasis, quoted by the Publico daily, said: “The surgery went well.
“He was very well prepared. He is a young man who understood the difficulties of this type of procedure.”
