Ray Benson is not sure whether he caught Hepatitis C from a tattoo needle or sharing a cocaine straw. Whatever the case he has it and has been talking about it to help others and is not afraid about it hurting his image. "I feel I have nothing to lose and everything to gain," he said. "If you want to put a face on it, here it is, pal."

The original source link for this story went dead, so it has been replaced with an interview in which Ray Benson mentions an incident in which he was sick with Hepatitis C.

If you are going to use cocaine you should always use your own tooter.

Benson performed at the 2008 TEC Awards in the video below.
