Marco Mendoza shares his story of addiction and recovery. Now sober 26 years, he reflects on his life journey. From getting married at 16, and a father by twenty, to being homeless and addicted to drugs – he doesn’t hold back.
We also talk about his music career post recovery – and he explains the delicate dance of being in bands with David Coverdale and John Sykes at the same time, and his attempts to bring them back together (hint: he got VERY close).

Marco is an even better person than he is a musician and that’s saying an an awful lot! Having met him several times, he is always genuinely humble and gracious and takes the time to really engage in a meaningful conversation with fans – just a class act all the way. I’ll buy anything he plays on – he’s really one of the best!
