He is such an inspiration and a hero to us all, let's hope he receives the help he so desperately needs.

I hope he acknowledged and thanked all those who were misinformed by the media for their concern and well wishes.

Polk...can you tell me what your post meant. Leave out the personal comments please.

He's at a sad stage in his life where he's trying to find some sort of direction, after his rise to fame at a young age and now plunged into relative obscurity.

The media, hyenas that they are, are feeding off him.

I totally understand him Mum's plea. Let him be fgs.

Lucky he has supportive parents.
