VALENTINE RENOUNCES MORMON ROOTS

MAROON 5 guitarist JAMES VALENTINE has given up his life as a Mormon - because the religion is the 'polar-opposite' to the lifestyle he now chooses to live.

James Valentine at House of Blues on the Sunset Strip Hollywood California, announce plans for a 2007 "It won't be soon before long" World Tour.

The 28-year-old was brought up as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a form of Christianity, but admits his career as a rocker has forced him to part ways with his childhood religion.

He says, "I'm definitely not active. This is about as polar-opposite a lifestyle as I was supposed to have, in my adult life.

"On the road I've gone through times of drinking too much and stuff, I went pretty far outside the bubble. I try to live morally and still have a good time, and I've had to find my own way. It's been a difficult path."
