Former 90s pop sensation Kavana has bravely shared the dark realities of his past, including paid drug-fuelled sexual encounters and the exhausting battle to conceal his sexuality during the height of his fame.
In a candid interview, the singer, now 46, admitted that the pressure of maintaining a public persona while privately struggling with his identity led him down a dangerous path of alcoholism and addiction.
The High Price of Fame
Kavana, who rose to fame with hits like "I Can Make You Feel Good", revealed how the music industry's expectations weighed heavily on him. "I was living a double life," he confessed. "The constant fear of being outed and the pressure to maintain an image drove me to self-destructive behaviour."
A Descent Into Addiction
The star detailed how his addiction spiralled out of control, admitting to paying for sex while under the influence of drugs. "It was a coping mechanism," he explained. "I was trying to numb the pain and confusion about who I really was."
Kavana's story sheds light on the darker side of 90s pop culture, where many stars faced similar struggles behind their carefully crafted images.
Road to Recovery
Now sober and openly gay, Kavana is using his experience to help others. "I want people to know there's light at the end of the tunnel," he said. "It's never too late to be your authentic self."
The singer is currently working on new music and hopes his story will inspire others facing similar battles.
