Andy was off cocaine when he died. He was mistreated in school, was a very sensitive person who had to deal with insecurities all his life. I read last week that his family did not like Victoria, that she didn't treat him wel. No one needs to be blamed for his passing. He's with Maurice and his dad now. His beautful voice and smile still lives on in these wonderful videos. And, it was an infection of the heart muscle that killed him, no drugs or alcohol found in his body.at time of death.
Had I been born at that time or would have enough age would travel and would look into my eyes and I would say God loves you and I would embrace it also very strong. At night sleep with what I love Andy
wow, Andy the human being and not just the singer; telling his story on TV and how he was dealing with his depression and problems. Also warning people about drugs...I always had Andy in my heart although I was just a little girl when saw him in video for first time but he had a charisma and such a beautiful smile...
I absolutely hate drugs , of ANY kind, what really pisses me off, I'm sorry to use such language, is the moronic ''rap'' artists of today who glamorise it and make drugs into some kind of nectar or something! Do these halfwits even think about people like Andy who died of this??!! I love Andy, always will and he was just beautiful.....
@GibbyGibbyGibb Drugs can be a good thing. If you are extremely depressed and nothing else is helping, drugs can help with your mood if you use them enough. Its the only way i can bring my mood up.
@GibbyGibbyGibb Yeah but he was doing coke, that will take its toll on you after a while for sure. Something like pot shouldn't even be used in the same sentence as coke lmao, its really not all that bad.
The breakup with Victoria was probably the beginning of the end of Andy's life...Andy's broken heart never healed after the break-up with Victoria...Andy's eyes aren't in sync with what his mouth is saying...He never got over her and that became his biggest burden in life, until it became too much for him to bear, then he fell back into taking drugs and then drugs took his life...Victoria must feel a sense of guilt over Andy, though she didn't put the drugs in his body, but still...
If it wasn't for VP he would still be here, he wouldn't have done drugs and his heart wouldn't have gave out. I love this man, he is so sad in this video.
@sheila1966 It's not fair or right to blame Victoria Principal for Andy's death. I think that Andy had some personal demons that were there before Victoria came into the picture and even afterwards. He came from a very loving family who supported him. Yet he was unable to be happy and wound up doing great damage to himself. You can blame someone or something, but at the end of the day you have to take responsibility for your actions. I think if Andy were here, he would say it was on him.
I guess I hadn't thought about it after all of these years but I forgot how young he was when he died. I am just 31 but I remember when he died. I can still remember being in the store with my parents and seeing his face on every magazine. My dad had to explain he was the bro of the Bee Gees, which was one of my his favorite groups. Very sad ...
Andy looked so deflated here. I blame Victoria a little for his untimely death because she dumped him, BUT she was not completely responsible. Andy died of a heart condition which Victoria was not to blame for. However, she has always seemed like a cold fish.
A most brave and honest interview by Andy. I often wonder if things would have been differant if Andy and his ex wife had stayed together. Or if they could have found thier way back together. Of al the women I believe Kim loved Andy just for being Andy. . Maybe Andy stoey would have had a happier ending if they had been together. Maybe Andy story would not have to have ended. . Too young, too talented too good a person to have left so early. RIP sweet Andy. FOREVER LOVE, MISS ROBIN
It took a lot of courage for Andy to come on this show at the time and be as open and honest about his problems. You can tell just by this interview that he was a very good person. I don't think Andy would hurt another person, not intentionally. I think he would hurt himself before he would hurt another human being. And it's heartbreaking to watch this because he had a hell of a lot of talent and was a good person. I think Andy's message to the fans should apply to young fans of today.
@beatlejuice72 Yeah, just listening to him and watching his eyes, you can tell that he was a very honest and humble person. Unfortunately, he got with the wrong people and made some bad choices and it hurt him and his career. He will forever be in my heart and I am so grateful we still have his music and videos!!!!
C'mon, people. Stop blaming Victoria for Andy's death. We have all gone through painful breakups or at least one in our lifetime. Most of us don't turn to drugs or alcohol. Andy did and I think he was feeling a lot of pain and insecurities inside that went beyond his relationship with Victoria. Andy had a very loving family yet he still turned to drugs. He was a very good person who had a lot of problems. It's very sad that he died so young because he didn't deserve that.
@beatlejuice72 No blame. Victoria gave him an ultimatum: CHOSE ME, OR CHOSE DRUGS. The drugs won, and Andy did it to himself. It was a shame, to throw it all away.
what did freakin, victoria say then? Does any clown know? I just wonder. Is Victoria still alive? just wondering. I guess I will have to google. But if any ass wants to respond, be my guess
there are a lot of celebritys who are christians but they dont shout it out.. In a poem or text andy wrote in 1985 in las vegas he mentioned the Lord in the poem. that poem was read at andys funeral by brother barry. andys religion was noted as methodist/christian.
Andy did mention God in his interview with merv griffin, if you saw that and in the interview with merv with victoria principal when they were laughing , andy looks up and says God, asking for help. Andy also gave cheri johnson a gold cross for her suprise birthday party, who was on punky brewster, cheri still has the cross and wears it today. So before you think you know him you do not.
He sounds like he's coked up during this interview, and can't wait to get off-stage to get his next bump. Sad, but that's how coke is. I've certainly been there.
how dare you say that Andy was clean when he did this intervew were you thare did you see it first hand i think not he was under a lot of stress when he did this intervew so think before you say anything
It would seem that Andy did not mention God in many of his interviews. H loved the girl so much, it broken his heart and destroyed his career and life. What Andy needed during that time was God, which it would seem that he did not embrace during that very difficult time of his life. This a sad for a very talented person who sang songs which we treasured until now. So sad.
Andy did belive in God he just keep it quite it says in the book that he was methodest and that when he broke up with V.P. he just lost his way and your right what he did need was God and hopefully now he can finaly rest in peace
Andy was amazingly brave to speak about this on national tv - can't imagine any celebrities doing this nowadays. So sad to see him flinch and take a breath when he sees the first photo of VP. He seemed such a lovely person and had so much going for him. It is so sad.....did he say he "turned to drugs for a month" I can't quite hear what he said.
yes he did say that when he broke up with she who must not be named he realy went down hill she just tore up his heart and threw it out she didn't care what it did to him
A very bittersweet interview. Andy was very talented and its a shame his drug use ruined that. On a side note, only Joan Lunden could have the grace and class to conduct such a good interview!
@itwontbez I think Joan did an exceptional job with Andy and it seemed that he felt comfortable talking with her. If you watch the 2nd interview she did with him, she even tells him that she is asking about his drug use because she was concerned and Andy seemed willing to talk more about it. Such a great guy he was!!
Gosh I love you Andy...So sensitive & sweet,I suffer from depression like you & I understand you.I believe he is still with us as everybody who passes and here's us.Oh him & Olivia were just friends,close friends.
Omgggggg......Andy, that lady was not worth a single tear supposed to be. Too bad...you had it too hard for you. You were even much prettier than her. Olivia was a better lady for you. Till now, everyone loved your memory and the beautiful songs you left behind and still very much alive. RIP ANDY.
Hi Nikka, thanks for posting 3 GMA interviews of Andy after a hard period. Agree with your comments. Bit by bit we get a better impression on the highs and lows Andy faced during his short career. Wish he was here !
Victoria Priciple left Andy because he wouldn't stop the cocaine and the cocaine damaged his heart and also he was a heavy liquor drinker. I was so so hurt when I heard he passed away but the drugs damaged his heart.
Nika, cada vez que veo alguno de tus acertados videos, me dejas sin palabras, que buen material que compartes, muchas, muchas, gracias, por permitirnos ver a Andy en las diferentes etapas de su vida. Nuevamente gracias.
Weer een geweldige upload van Andy, dank je Nikka, wat was het toch een heerlijke open man,na al die overwinningen van zijn verslavingsproblemen is het zo hard dat hij er nu niet meer is, we gaan er maar vanuit dat god hem dicht bij zich wilde hebben omdat het zo'n mooie, gevoelige en lieve man was! een engel nu en voor altijd!
Andy was off cocaine when he died. He was mistreated in school, was a very sensitive person who had to deal with insecurities all his life.
