Placebo

Placebo biography

Lyrical content

Placebo's music contains many references to drugs. Molko has been open about his use of recreational drugs: in a 1997 interview with Kerrang! magazine, he admitted at one point that heroin was "probably the only drug on this planet I haven't tried." However, he later admitted to experimenting with heroin as well.
