Since winning Pop Idol in 2002, Will Young has enjoyed a glittering career.
He's had four number one UK albums, sold 10 million records, won two Brit Awards and a Laurence Olivier Award for his role in Cabaret.
But behind the success, Will has suffered a huge amount of pain.
Will has battled addictions to porn, booze and shopping that saw him splash £5,000 on clothes in Selfridges he would never wear.
He began seeing a therapist in 2004 after struggling to cope with the pressure of fame.
Will believes his problems stemmed from watching his twin brother being given special medical help 10 minutes after he was born.
Speaking to The Times Magazine, he claimed that seeing his sibling being put in an incubator to treat his pneumonia caused trauma.
"I think that created a nervous system that was on edge, and understandably so," he said. "Trauma lies beneath 99.9% of addictions."
In 2012, Will sought treatment at Khiron House, a residential trauma centre, in Oxfordshire.
He checked into the centre after he suffered a breakdown so severe that he was left unable to recognise his own face in the mirror.
Will said at the time: "I had so much pain. I honestly didn't know if I was going to make it."
He revealed that the therapists gave him diagnoses, including post-traumatic stress disorder, depersonalisation and derealisation.
To deal with his trauma he sought the help of a shaman.
"I heard about her and I thought, 'I'll give it a go'. I don't talk about what happens in the shamanic process because it goes beyond words," he said.
With therapy for his PTSD, Will says he has managed to cut his drinking right back.
It took him nearly two years to recover and he feared he would never write a song again.
In 2015 he released his album 85% Proof, which went straight to number one.
Will first called himself an addict publicly in 2016, the same year he quit Strictly Come Dancing because of his anxiety.
Speaking at National Student Pride 2016, he said: "I was a love addict, I still am an addict, addicted to porn, certainly addicted to alcohol.
"I'd never been on a date without having at least two drinks before I'd left the house and I didn't even notice that was a problem.
"Drugs I didn't really get into. I toyed around with it, but it didn't really stick with me so much."
He believes he also started relying on booze as he dealt with his sexuality as a gay man.
Will came out at the age of 21, but said that meant he had suffered "17 years of shame".
He said: "I will keep coming back to shame because it's such a fundamental thing.
"Until I conquered it I just kept having sex to fill the void, watching porn, shopping, anything, and I think we are told that as soon as we come out everything will be OK, but it's just not the case.
"It is different being a young LGBT person because if you are heterosexual you are not dealing with a huge backlog of sexual shame and shame of your identity."
