In March 1998, he agreed to enter a drug treatment program after pleading no contest to firearms charges in South Carolina. Earlier that year, he spent six days in hospital, reportedly to battle an addiction to painkillers.Brown joins an eclectic lineup of talent that includes fellow R&B heroes Al Green and Parliament/Funkadelic. But the bulk of the Woodstock '99 bill consists of contemporary hitmakers such as the Dave Matthews Band, Alanis Morissette, Sheryl Crow, Jewel, Sugar Ray, Limp Bizkit, DMX, Collective Soul and Counting Crows.The music festival runs Friday through Sunday at the site of the Griffiss Air Force Base in Rome, N.Y., about 200 miles from the site of the original Woodstock festival of 1969.
