“There's been an overarching eating disorder that has been with me all my life, it's a mixture of all the disorders,” the Let Me Entertain You singer explained.
“I had 'bigorexia' which is thinking you have no muscles and no size and anorexia. There is a word that's missing though, and that's what I am. It was either restrictive or over-eating. I've never had it right,” he admitted.
“There is an eating disorder, I'm just not sure which is my brand,” he concluded.
