Gary, I can't do the series. I'm not well.


That's why I've been saying no. I'm not well.

No California Nadine. No.


I can't do it. I'm not mentally well enough. The recording session for an album I think I could cope with.

I'll say yes because you're forcing me to, but then I'll kill myself.


That's how I feel right now: like killing myself.


That's how ashamed I am of how I made Chloe feel.
