Dave Navarro Talks Suicide

10/01/2010
. (Rock Radio) Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro has responded to the suicide of a music student by appealing to teenagers who feel repressed to seek help before taking their own lives.

Tyler Clementi, an 18-year-old New Jersey musician, jumped to his death after two fellow students secretly filmed him having gay sex and then broadcast the footage online.

Now Navarro has written an open letter to gay, bisexual and transgender teens in which he admits he considered suicide at times in his own life as he struggled with the murder of his mother and drug addiction. He begs people to realize that while being a victim of bullying can be horrific, the experience will pass and lead to better times. - more on this story
