DEL Amitri star Justin Currie has told of the problems he has playing guitar after his Parkinson’s diagnosis.

The 60-year-old revealed he was struggling with the symptoms which cause him to lose control of his hands. Glaswegian Justin said: “You get good weeks and bad weeks. And I’ve felt asymptomatic recently.

“When you feel normal, it’s like being high, because you feel you don’t have any major symptoms and then you get weeks where you’re just, you feel very, very, very ill. It’s a very odd thing.
