Disturbed’s David Draiman Plays ‘Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction?’ (Part 1)

This installment of 'Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction?' is one of the best yet, as we had the pleasure of hosting Disturbed frontman David Draiman in our studio for a two-part episode.

In Part 1 (watch above), the singer cleared up some misconceptions about his childhood, revealing some deeply personal details about his life that weren't mentioned on Wikipedia. He opens up about his father, who was incarcerated for two and a half years, and talks about his expulsion from the Wisconsin Institute of Torah Studies, disclosing that he shoved another student out a window.

You'll also hear Draiman discuss the tragic death of the girlfriend he had as a teenager and his battle with drugs, as well as some of the jobs he held down before joining Disturbed.

Check out one of the most compelling editions of 'Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction?' yet. And stay tuned for Part 2, in which Draiman clears up information about key moments in Disturbed's history.

Disturbed's new album, 'Immortalized,' arrives Friday (Aug. 21) and can be pre-ordered at iTunes.
