" I've Been Super Happy Ever Since " - Say Ricky Martin

 

The pop star reflect on his journey, from experiencing depression during his 1999 Livin' La Vida Loca tour to sharing his truth in 2011 memoir "Me: Ricky Martin."

Ricky Martin is opening up about his decision to come out as gay now.

The music superstar recalls being on his Livin' La Vida Loca tour in 1999 when he decide he had to take some time off.

" My music was being heard all over the world, regardless of the language, " Martin said during an appearance on Proud Radio on Apple Music. " I could high five God, but I wasn't living to the fullest. I was sad. I was depressed. I would walk on stage to perform because that was the only way I could balance my emotion is to snap out of this heavy sadness that I was moving in. And then actually there came a moment that I said, 'We need to stop. We need to stop the tour.' I remember I was in Australia and from Australia, we were going to go to South America. And I said, I can't. I can't do this. I need to go home. I need silence. I need to cry. I need to be angry. I need to forgive myself for allowing myself to reach this level, to get to where I'm at. And I took some time and I took a sabbatical."
