Asia Drummer Carl Palmer Went Vegan In “Heat Of The Moment”
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 2nd, 2013 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians.
Carl Palmer, drummer for the rock band Asia, went vegan last year after an e. coli infection that forced the band to cancel a tour.
“It has changed my whole life,” Palmer said in an interviewed posted to Classic Rock Revisited. “I have become a Vegan. I don’t eat any dairy, cheese, milk, meat or whatever. I can’t eat anything that’s got a face. I just never want to be this ill again.”
Palmer is convinced he contracted the illness from a casino in New York state.
He said it was the first time he ever had to cancel a tour, but admits he’s feel better than before now that he’s changed his eating patterns.
“I actually feel more energized now. Perhaps it is my diet. It could have all been a bit of luck. It could have been that God said to me, “Hey, you need to smarten up and change your diet.” I have done just that. I have more energy after my European tour than I had when I left. It has to be the diet.”
