The singer told his fans how there was days in the past were he had felt overwhelmed by his life and suffered with depression – he said it got to the point”where you don’t want to live any more”.
In the post he said: “I started doing pretty heavy drugs at 19 and abused all of my relationships. I became resentful, disrespectful to women, and angry.
“I became distant to everyone who loved me, and I was hiding behind a shell of a person that I had become. I felt like I could never turn it around.

“Everyone did everything for me, so I never even learned the fundamentals of responsibility,” he said. “By this point, I was 18 with no skills in the real world, with millions of dollars and access to whatever I wanted.”
