Never heard that before, but Richard says in the liner notes:

"after several years of considerably self-destructive substance abuse 
and a wrestling match with my guardian angels that I was in danger of 
winning, I did something interesting which is known as "hitting bottom". 
The details are unimportant, except to say that my "bottom" would have 
made Dante or Hieronymus Bosch proud, ..

.. But to put it bluntly, as for as my musical career had gone, I was a 
laughingstock and a shame."
