Anybody seen this?
Very powerful stuff, shows the downsides of fame and fortune.
Having to go on stage in front of nearly 100,000 fans in both Leeds and Ireland feeling depressed and like shit, but somehow he pulled through, being in tears sometimes during the performance,
Like many Rock and pop stars he has had drug issues, but this was more about struggling to cope with fame. He made the point all the musicians, road crew (73 trucks) Venue staff were depending on him and the responsibility fell on his shoulders.
I actually felt sorry for him, as he came across as a decent bloke.
Yes, I know some people might say try to bring up three kids in an inner city when you are six months behind on your mortgage and you have just lost your job, but that is a different type of stress.
Cue the expected replies of he's a twat from the potteries.....:-)
