The Grammy-nominated artist said on a November PEOPLE cover that he has come to terms with his history but is still in the process of mending.
“I believe I’ll feel a bit better when I reach the third item on my reparations list. “God, perhaps this has something to do with the fact [that] I haven’t forgiven myself either.”
He said at the time, “because I was hitting some stone walls with people who wouldn’t forgive me.” In a two-second interview.
I sum up ten, twelve, and fifteen years of leading a wildly insane, egocentric, and selfish lifestyle. In actuality, there was a great deal of suffering there.
I caused many people pain. They still watch and are upset that I’m successful, despite the fact that I’ve changed a lot.
I recognize that. However, I’m becoming better at letting go of the past and understanding that I owe nothing to that aspect of myself.
