‘The Voice’ Season 27 champ Adam David talks addiction, redemption, and how he finally got clean: ‘I didn't know how I was going to get out of that. I felt very much trapped.’

Six years ago, Adam David had just played Austin’s South by Southwest festival for the first time, an opportunity that should have been an exciting career breakthrough for the rising roots-rock singer-songwriter. But because he was in the depths of his addiction back in 2019, things went awry. However, this rock-bottom moment was a breakthrough of another kind — one that led to David penning his new original single, “Savior,” and then, after starting out as a one-chair, Instant-Save underdog, becoming the surprise champion of The Voice Season 27.
