Page "The House of Love" Paragraph 25

By his own admission, some years after the event, Chadwick took the split of The House of Love very badly and succumbed to depression-" It was very hard to get out of bed.

I was ill. After the group finished it was such a huge awakening.

I just cracked up, and couldn't function for years.

" Ironically, Chadwick's battles with depression enabled him to better understand why Terry Bickers had left the band, and would eventually lead to a reconciliation between the two.

Despite his difficulties, he would make several further attempts at a musical career, going on to form The Madonnas in 1994 ( splitting the band in 1995 ) and subsequently the similarly short-lived, Belgium-based Eyedreams in 1996.

Neither bands would release any records.

He resurfaced as a solo artist in 1997, releasing one album, 1998's Lazy Soft and Slow.
