--------
In this clip, Johnny Gill revealed New Edition's struggles with debt, substance abuse, and mental health amid their successful music career. He explained the high costs of producing a tour, noting that though they were making money, they were spending an equal, if not greater, amount. In a previous interview, Ricky Bell opened up about his battles with drug addiction, resulting in financial ruin. He confessed to selling personal belongings, including his designer boots, just to afford his next high. Gill echoed the sentiment, explaining that he had to sell his house and other valuables due to financial strain. Gill attributed the group's financial struggles to the lack of education about managing money. He admitted ignoring the signs and focusing more on enjoying fame and wealth, which ultimately led the group to their financial downfall.

Johnny Gill is a r&b legend not just in New Edition, but as a solo artist in music. I remembered 35 years ago when Heartbreak album came out in 1988 the one artist that Johnny was compared too was Teddy Pendergrass who is my favorite artist of all time. His voice was a little bit similar to Teddy's because he had a very soulful voice and the way he screamed on their songs, my favorite song My My My, and his other group LSG was unheard of at the time.🎤

Ok, so this is the problem, NOT just with Johnny, but MOST OF OUR YOUTH (or people in general). On one hand it's the same ol, "No one was there to school us to the information." Then, when referring to Barry Bonds trying to help him he explains that he wasn't trying to listen to him. Just goes to show some type of people don't wanna listen until it's too late. And even then they still don't listen but got hella complaining about how no one tried to school them.
