GINUWINE: Thought About Suicide

Ginuwine says his time out of the spotlight was darker than he's let on. He tells Essence-dot-com, "After my father shot himself to death and my mother died from cancer less than a year later, I really didn't want to be here anymore, I didn't want to live, and tried to commit suicide more than once... I had to go see a psychiatrist, but that didn't do any good because I wasn't interested. In fact, the two times I visited him I was high... [But] I went to church and received counseling from my pastor and got straight spiritually. I've been clean for about seven years."

Ginuwine's new disc, A Man's Thoughts, hits stores June 23rd.
