Yeah, pretty crazy. I didn't realize the guys in Sum 41 were so young when they broke out. Basically pre teens in their first bands and then 15/16 when Sum41 started to get noticed. Press left out more intimate details, but basically reguarly jerking each other off and making out, with Greig threatening him if he told anyone, while trying to keep his family away from his new "showbiz" life.

“I’m dealing with it for the first time, and I don’t know what I think about it. I can’t deny that it was very manipulative, but I didn’t really realize what a lot of this was,” Whibley says. “It didn’t dawn on me until I hit the age he was, in his mid-30s, when I was a teenager. He was a hero, so to see that power dynamic, you see how you can manipulate a 16-year-old kid.”
Whibley claims that while at a rave, Nori asked Whibley, who was 18 at the time, to come to a restroom stall to do Ecstasy with him. Inside the restroom, Nori grabbed his face and “passionately” kissed him, Whibley writes in the book. Whibley says he was stunned and that Nori claimed he’d never had same-sex attraction and that what the two of them had “was so special.”
