Will Young has shared his heartbreak over kicking out his twin brother Rupert just a week before his death.The pop star's brother killed himself almost two years ago after a lengthy battle with depression and alcoholism. In a Channel 4 documentary, Will, 43, opened up on the struggles he faced looking after his twin brother as his situation worsened. He said: "It's important to tell my story, to tell Rupert's story, to tell my family's story and to tell the story of 20 years living with my twin, who was an alcoholic.
"Other people will be experiencing this and I don't want them to feel alone." In July 2020, a week or so before Rupert's death, Will reported him as a trespasser and had him removed from his home. "At the end, he would be drinking 24 hours a day," says Will. Get exclusive celebrity stories and fabulous photoshoots straight to your inbox with OK!'s daily newsletter.
