This gay boy, IT-geek, farmer's son turned singer-songwriter, was on his sparkly way.
Cue life. Record label lawyers. Radio champions died. Stalkers with death threats. Early-onset Alzheimer's for Dad. Suicides of loved ones. Coercive control and cheating from boyfriends. The weariness of the constant battle for LGBTQIA+ rights.
