“It’s quite therapeutic to write about that time because you get to look back at what happened during that time,” Anthony told Brobyn on BBC Sounds.
In a 2014 interview with Heat magazine, he revealed how his good friend, the late singer Amy Winehouse, had urged him to sort himself out.
After 1999’s Will You Wait For Me, Kavana’s solo career was finished.
However, he took the decision to relocate to the United States, where he appeared in a number of commercials and an MTV show.
After that Anthony landed a publishing deal and became a songwriter.
Kavana disappeared from the public eye before re-emerging in 2014 as part of the second series of ITV2’s The Big Reunion.
The following year he starred in Celebrity Big Brother.
