Without revealing a cause of death, the ‘Time is a Lion’ singer went on to wish “farewell” to his late brother-in-law as he shared his hopes that he has made it to the afterlife. He added: “Farewell, then, brother Anthony. I want to think the god your blessed mother believed in has her there, waiting to receive you. At least for today, no one shall dissuade me from this vision.
He said: “I’m a zero in their eyes; a non-person, an embarrassment. If I froze to death, my family probably wouldn’t know or care about it for six months. My family turned their back on me, basically, when I was having a hard time. You think I haven’t answered this question a bazillion times – why my sister is a multi-bazillionaire and I’m homeless on the street? Never say never. This could happen to anybody.
