with more instrumentation throughout the album. On tour, he was joined by Jim Dare [Minuteman], Didz Hammond (Dirty Pretty Things), Angie Pollock (Goldfrapp), Sebastian Sternberg (Pleasure, Marina and the Diamonds), Kris Sonne and Amy Langley, thus giving the songs a more art-rock edge. Black Rainbows – Anderson's fourth solo album was released through BA Songs, distributed by EMI Music Service in September 2011. It was preceded by the single "Brittle Heart". It was the second album Anderson had co-written with Leo Abrahams and it saw a return to a simpler more commercial rock format. Anderson stated that he had taken as reference points some of his old favourite records like PIL's "Rise", and Siouxsie and the Banshees' Juju while conceiving the songs. Personal life In the early days of Suede's career, Anderson made a comment that he was "a bisexual man who never had a homosexual experience." The recording of Suede's Head Music was plagued with difficulties such as Anderson's addiction to heroin and crack cocaine which showed in his increasingly unpredictable behaviour and gaunt appearance, which contrasted with his previously healthy and androgynous appearance. While Anderson had been taking drugs moderately during Suede's career up to that point, he was addicted for two and a half years, but stopped in late 1999, when somebody very close to him became ill. He has been clean since. Speaking of his addiction, Anderson said, "Anyone who has ever tried crack will know exactly why I took it. It's the scariest drug in the world because the hit you get from it is so, so seductive. I wanted to experience that, and I did – repeatedly." Anderson was a close friend of Simon Hobart (promoter of Popstarz) and was the DJ at the benefit night held in Hobart's honour after his death. Anderson is married to Jodie, a naturopath, with whom he has a step-son and son. In 2018, Anderson released an autobiography titled Coal Black Mornings. The second part of the book, called Afternoon With The Blinds Drawn was released a year later. Brett Anderson is a supporter of Ipswich Town football club.
