  • But although the singer's memoir was released over a year ago, Martin still hasn't revisited the book and read it from start to finish - because the project evokes bad memories, reported MTV online.
  • "I had it book open on my computer and I started reading a paragraph and had to stop. I had to stop. It reminded me of the place I was when I was writing it."
  • However, the pop star is glad he chronicled his experiences - because he knew it would help others.
  • "When I released the book, the people I met doing the in-store signings were like, 'Please allow me to give you a hug. You have no idea what you've done for me.' I had no idea it was going to be like that. When I started writing this book I just wanted to let go of a lot of things I was holding within," he added.
