Sitting down with E! interviewer David Burtka, the music legend speaks candidly about being bullied – after becoming a star.
“I was the perfect candidate for it. Even though I was famous and a big deal, it doesn’t matter, it’s who you are underneath that, and I was always kind of shy and intimidated,” explains John.
He says of his bullies, “One was violent and the other two were mentally violent. They were very important people in my life. They were important people in my career and in my personal life.”
Discussing his family with David Furnish and their son Zachary, John says he wouldn’t even have them had he not gone sober in 1990.
It’s a “miracle” he didn’t wind up like Houston, he says, “because I’m sure I did as much cocaine as she ever did.”
