Those who begin life as the most damaged get to know the Devil and his demons well enough to never go back. I've followed you for years and know you are not only on the other side of it, but will end up one of the great talents in this world.

I met him and stayed at his home he told me not to throw away my life. I had no idea who he was. I was hurt because I thought he thought I was a bum.

[@carribgirl007]

Very touching. I can't understand why his mum sent his to live with his grandparents at such a young age or why. I am glad he is in a much better place now. He s music sounds great.

Cause she was homophobic.

[@reindeer-o-stoole]

he was sent to live with his aunt & uncle not his grandparents.

@@joseandresgonzalez8764 He was sent to live with his aunt & uncle as an infant, so you might reconsider that comment.
