The 25-year-old singer battled with addiction after he rose to fame as a teenager, and has said his religion helped pull him out of his darkest moments after he had a conversation with God which gave him the strength to “get off the pills” he was taking. Buy tickets below.
Axar.az reports citing foreign media that following his deal with God, the ‘Yummy’ hitmaker began to seek help from professionals and is now determined to “take care” of his body.
He said: “I decided to stop [drugs] because I felt like I was dying, my security was coming into the room at night to check my pulse. People don’t know how serious it got; it was legit crazy scary.
“I basically said to myself ‘God if you’re real, you get me through this season of stopping these pills and stuff and if you do, I’ll do the rest of the work.’ I did that and then I was good from there, but I never did the actual work. I got off the pills, but I never went to the root of everything. So then I just kind of circle back around, which most people do.”
