Hit-maker Cee Lo Green claims that he’s always been inspired by heavy metal music and the way they dress.

The Forget You singer also controversially went on to say that he 'enjoys' taking MDMA.

The former Gnarls Barkley frontman told Q Magazine: “Rock n roll always spoke to me. Judas Priest had the look that I liked- when I was young I wanted to wear spikes."

"I like things to be sincere and Black Sabbath was the most genuinely evil music that I heard.When I first started to smoke weed I fell in love with 'Planet Caravan' (Black Sabbath)."

He added: "But now I don't even smoke cigarettes. The only drug I enjoy, really, is ecstasy. I like it pure. Is it called MDMA? I like that."
