Early life

Danny Worsnop was born on 4 September 1990 in Beverley, England and grew up in the small village of Gilberdyke with his parents Philip and Sharon and his younger sister Kelly. Worsnop himself has stated that his love for music started when he was a toddler when he would make "beats" using empty boxes and pots, but started playing instruments at the age of 8, his first being the violin and took lessons to play it, a year later learning the trumpet, and another year later he was playing at his local village school orchestra.{{cite web|title = Danny Worsnop Reveals Plans for 2016 Solo Album|url = http://loudwire.com/we-are-harlot-danny-worsnop-2016-solo-album/|website = Loudwire|access-date = 6 December 2015}} Eventually he would take up guitar and bass and became more influenced by rock and metal music, and was self-taught. He initially planned to join the military in hopes of becoming a sniper, however the success of Asking Alexandria's debut album Stand Up and Scream convinced him to continue a music career.

Although Ben Bruce originally formed the band in Dubai in 2006, after he realized that he wouldn't be able to achieve international success in Dubai, he moved to Nottingham in England in 2008 and reassembled the band with new members from the York area, including lead singer Danny Worsnop, Ben had moved in with Danny at his parents home Gilberdyke. He carried the name over due to not wanting to bother to come up with a brand new name, so he stuck with the old one.{{cite web|last1=Wiederhorn|first1=Jon|title=Interview: Asking Alexandria|url=http://www.guitarworld.com/interview-asking-alexandria?page=0,1|website=Guitarworld.com|publisher=Guitar World|access-date=27 June 2014|page=2|quote=Realizing he would never achieve international recognition in Dubai, Bruce moved on his own to Nottingham, England, in 2008, and after searching the internet for musicians found guitarist Danny Worsnop.|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006073957/http://www.guitarworld.com/interview-asking-alexandria?page=0,1|archive-date=6 October 2014|url-status=dead}} When asked why he chose that particular name, he explained that "Most bands have a pretty shit band name, so I just came up with something.

Worsnop has had a history of substance abuse and alcoholism, even appearing intoxicated during a 2011 performance by Asking Alexandria, which eventually led to Worsnop seeking help via drug rehabilitation.{{cite web|title = Asking Alexandria plead onstage for frontman to go to rehab – News – Alternative Press|url = http://www.altpress.com/news/entry/asking_alexandria_plead_onstage_for_frontman_to_go_to_rehab|website = Alternative Press|access-date = 17 February 2016}} Snippets from the audio of the incident were included on the intro part of the song "Don't Pray for Me" from the band's third studio album From Death to Destiny, released in 2013. He dedicated the song "Room 138" to an incident where he claims he overdosed. The song is the closing track on the band's self-titled fifth album.{{cite web|url=https://www.altpress.com/features/asking_alexandria_self_titled_track_by_track/2|title=Asking Alexandria self-titled track-by-track: The stories behind each song|website=AltPress|access-date=24 May 2020|date=13 December 2017}} According to Ben Bruce, Worsnop re-joined the band in 2016 "completely sober".{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/music-interviews/asking-alexandria-ben-bruce-like-a-house-on-fire-slipknot-sobriety-2669600|title=Asking Alexandria: "Corey Taylor told us this record would piss people off"|website=NME|access-date=24 May 2020|date=15 May 2020}}

During his initial leaving of Asking Alexandria in January 2015, he fell into conflict with some of the other members, particularly Ben Bruce, who was said to be his "best friend". Their friendship rekindled in 2016, leading to his rejoining of Asking Alexandria.{{cite web|title = Asking Alexandria's Danny Worsnop on Giving Up Drugs and Alcohol|url = http://loudwire.com/asking-alexandrias-danny-worsnop-giving-up-drugs-alcohol/|website = Loudwire|access-date = 17 February 2016}}
