Phil Collins reveals he can “barely hold a drumstick anymore”

With eight Grammy awards under his belt, Genesis drummer and lead singer Phil Collins is one of the most prominent musicians there are. He is one of only three musicians, alongside Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney, who have sold more than 100 million albums both as a solo act and a member of a band.

Born on January 30, 1951 in London, England to parents who possessed creative spirits, Collins fell in love with making music.

When he was just five, his uncle made him a drum kit out of tambourines, triangles, cymbals and toy drums, Collins recalled. “The old cliché is, ‘Well, at least it will keep him quiet’,” he told Interview Magazine.

“When I started playing seriously, the English beat thing was just happening, the Shadows and bands like that. It was the very early ’60s,” Collins recalled.

“I remember buying Please Please Me. I used to put the record player on very loud and set up my drums so I was facing the mirror, that way you don’t look at what you’re doing.

“Then when I was fourteen I went to a teacher to learn to read drum music. I figured when this rock-and-roll thing finished I would have to make a living playing in a dance band or in an orchestra pit. So I learned to read drum music, but I found that my capacity for reading was not anywhere near as good as actually playing by instinct.”

It was in the 1970 that Collin’s life changed forever. He was already playing in some bands when he came across an ad by a group called Genesis which was looking for a drummer. He decided to get in touch with them and the rest is history. In the first years of Collins being part of it, the group released five albums with singles that reached the charts.

After the founder and lead singer of Genesis left the group, Collins took his place. He was both a singer and a drummer. Speaking of his new role, he said he didn’t really feel comfortable, but as the group failed to find a singer, he simply stepped in.

Besides being a member of Genesis, Collins also had a very impressive solo career. With smash hits such as In The Air Tonight, You Can’t Hurry Love and I Don’t Care Anymore he soon became one of the best in the music industry.

When he decided to leave the group and focus on his solo career, Collins said: “Having been with Genesis for 25 years, I felt it time to change direction in my musical life.

“For me now it will be music for movies, some jazz projects and of course my solo career. I wish the guys in Genesis all the very best in their future. We remain the best of friends.”

However, in 2017, he decided to reunite with the band. Last year, they announced a world tour, The Last Domino, but had to put it on hold because of the pandemic.

And as fans were looking forward to seeing the group on stage together, Collins gave an interview with BBC Breakfast which made many concerned about his health. He and his band mates announced that it will be Collins’ son Nicholas who would do the drumming and Collins will only sing.

“Nic is a great drummer, but he is capable of sounding like early Phil. For Mike and I, that was always quite exciting,” Genesis band member Tony Banks said.

“It means you can play some of the songs that you haven’t played with Phil as the drummer for a long time.”

Speaking of why he’s not getting behind the drums, the musician revealed: “I’d love to but you know, I mean, I can barely hold a stick with this hand. So there are certain physical things that get in the way.

“I’m kind of physically challenged a bit which is very frustrating because I’d love to be playing up there with my son,” adding that he doesn’t know if he wants to be touring any longer.

“We’re all men of our age, and I think to some extent, I think it probably is putting it to bed,” he said. “I think yeah, I think just generally for me, I don’t know if I want to go out on the road anymore.”

Cher’s son Chaz Bono shares his mom’s concerns and feelings over his transition from female to male

 

From Chasity to Chaz, Cher and Sonny Bono’s son has been through a lot during his transition from female to male. The fact that his parents were internationally known celebrities had Chaz in the spotlight and everyone was familiar with the cute little girl with blonde curly hair and ponytails.

Chasity would usually appear at the end of her parents’ show The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour while the two sang “I Got You Babe.”

As years passed by, Chasity could feel she was in the wrong body and came out as a lesbian in 1995 before she decided to transition to a man and undergo a surgery in 2008.

Cher had a hard time coping with Chasity’s decision because she felt she would lose her daughter. However, as time passed by, she accepted the reality. Speaking to PrideSource, Cher admitted it wasn’t easy for her as a mother and said, “I didn’t go through it that easily. Both times. When I found out Chaz was gay, I didn’t go through it that easily.”

Then the transitioning took place and it made things even more worrying for the singer. “When I found out Chaz was [transitioning]… we talked about it a lot, actually. But then Chaz didn’t mention it anymore, so I kind of forgot. And what I think is, there’s such a fear of losing the child you love, and what will replace that child.”

But Chaz knew he was different. “…as a child, I always felt there was something different about me. I’d look at other girls my age and feel perplexed by their obvious interest in the latest fashion, which boy in class was the cutest, and who looked the most like cover girl Christie Brinkley. When I was 13, I finally found a name for exactly how I was different. I realized I was gay,” he wrote in his book Family Outing: A Guide to the Coming Out Process for Gays, Lesbians, and Their Families.

Fans from all over the world were closely following the relationship between Cher and Chaz who were not on good terms during the first year of Chaz’s transition, and Chaz’s life journey. Finally, at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, people could see the documentary Becoming Chaz which was very emotional and had a scene where Cher speaks of hearing her child’s new voice for the first time.

“My mother went through a kind of mourning period. It was difficult for her, and we didn’t see each other for about the first year of my transition,” Chaz told SBS Australia.

Chaz pursued a career in the film industry and appeared in five episodes of American Horror Story: Roanoke and play Reverend Rydale on The Bold and the Beautiful.

After the transition, Chaz knew it was the time for him to turn to a healthier lifestyle. So, when he became part of the show Dancing with the Stars, he changed his diet which now contains mostly veggies, fruits, meat, and nuts and managed to lose around 85lbs.

”I would have never been able to do it before,’ he told Oprah Winfrey some years ago. ‘I was too disconnected from my body, and to, you know – the dysphoria around, that I had with my body was too much to be able to have cared enough about to do anything like that.” 

Cher is now a proud mother and praises her son for choosing a healthy lifestyle. ”He did it all by himself. He made up his own mind and he did it. And it was like what — 85, 90 pounds. Wow! … I do not know if I’d have that courage.” Cher said.

The career, net worth, and divorce settlement of Richard Gere, one of the most handsome Hollywood actors

There is no person on the planet who hasn’t heard of Richard Gere. His role in the iconic American Gigolo placed him of the list of sexiest actors of Hollywood, and today, at the age of 72, this legendary actor hasn’t lost any of his charm that helped him make a name for himself as a heartthrob.

Gere knew he wanted to be involved in music or theater ever since he was a student.

“I went through a young-man-paranoid stage,” Gere said of the time he dropped college in order to pursue a career in acting. “I was dead middle class, and I felt I had to do something special. I didn’t want what I thought was that amorphous middle-class nowhere status. Even though my parents questioned what I was doing, they were loving, sweet and supportive.”

After playing the role of Julian Kaye, a male escort from L.A., the doors to Hollywood opened for talented and young Gere. When he took the role, which was initially offered to John Travolta, Gere had no idea the scenes would be that explicit. ”It was just in the natural process of making the movie. I certainly felt vulnerable, but I think it’s different for men than women,” he later told Advocate.

What followed after American Gigolo were iconic movies that marked the career of Gere forever, among which An Officer and a Gentleman (1982) and one of the most romantic movies in the history of film, Pretty Woman (1990). In the latter, then 41-year-old Gere played the role of wealthy businessman Edward Lewis, who falls in love with a Sunset Boulevard prostitute, played by Julia Roberts.

At the time, Gere was already a famous name and Roberts was a rising star, but both of them excelled their roles and became one of the most famous onscreen couples.

Speaking of this movie, which was a huge breakthrough for her, Roberts told Entertainment Weekly Radio of Gere who turned down the part several times, ”I just said ‘you have to do this movie, if you don’t do this movie and it falls apart and I lose this job it would just be terrible’. And I kinda pleaded with him in a very real way. And all three of us went out to dinner and um, I had a great time and he changed all our lives forever by agreeing to do this movie.”

“It was a charming movie. Julia hadn’t done much at all at that point. There weren’t high expectations for this thing,” Gere said.

The number of hit movies Gere was part of only grew bigger and bigger during the 90’s and everyone was looking forward to seeing the sex symbol in new projects.

In 2002, Gere got a Golden Globe for his portrayal of “Billy Flynn” in the smash-hit musical Chicago, which was the highest grossing musical with $306 million until 2008.

Although the movies he chooses to be part of are never about money, Gere earned millions of dollars throughout the years. It is estimated that he receives between $5 and $10 million for each of his films. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the actor is worth $120 million dollars.

When it comes to real estate, Gere was a proud owner of the Hamptons mansion known as Strongheart Manor for eight years before he sold it to TV Host Matt Lauer for $36.5 million. Gere still owns several properties in New York, including an impressive 50+ acre compound estate nearby Pound Ridge and the Bedford Post Inn which he co-owns with friend Russell Hernandez.

Being voted People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive in 1999, it doesn’t come as a surprise that handsome Gere dated many beautiful woman.

In 1991, he married model Cindy Crawford in an intimate ceremony. She was 17 years his junior and their marriage only lasted for four years. Then, in 2002, Gere married another model and actress, Carey Lowell. They had one son together, Homer James Jigme Gere, who is as handsome as his famous father. The couple, however, divorced in 2013 and went through a long and exhausting, both financially and emotionally, divorce. Details of their settlement have never been officially released publicly.

Today, Gere is married to Alejandra Silva, 37, with whom he has two sons. “He is the most humble, sensitive, affectionate, attentive, funny, generous man that I’ve ever met. What can I say? I’m so in love! How would you feel if each morning you were asked: ‘What would make you happy today?’ Not a day goes by that he doesn’t mention how important I am to him. I feel very lucky,” Alejandra told Hello! in April 2020.

Mom’s skin falls off after microblading procedure goes horribly wrong – she now wants to warn others of possible side effects

 New trends set by trendsetters influence many people to change the way they look. This doesn’t only apply on the way they dress, but the way their body and face look as well. Today, we witness many men and women getting fillers, applying permanent makeup, having their nails and lips done, and a lot more.

We do understand the urge to look better than we already do, but somewhere along the way, many of us forget to embrace their natural beauty and accept themselves the way they are.

One recent trend in the beauty industry is microblading eyebrows, which is basically a tattooing technique that helps enhance or reshape the appearance of the eyebrows.

A mother of three from Australia named Amanda Coats was looking forward to getting her new eyebrows not assuming things could turn wrong. After the treatment, she was advised to keep the area clean and avoid possible infections, which she claims she did. She went to bed happy and satisfied that night only to wake up the following morning and discover that her skin fell off.

“The next day I woke up and my skin had come off onto the pillow, it was red and swollen. I went to the doctor immediately because of the pain and severe swelling. It felt like something was eating away at my skin, my skin was peeling off. I was in so much pain,” the worried mom said.

“My eyes were so swollen I couldn’t drive – I couldn’t even take my children to school because of the swelling, the pain and the pus in my eyes.”

Scared and angry, she went to the hospital to ask for medical help which cost her $1,000. Later, she shared her story in hopes of preventing something similar from happening to other people. But as soon as the salon heard her story, they accused her of losing customers and sued her, saying what happened to her wasn’t their fault. They claimed Amanda was either allergic to the ink or she didn’t took proper care of the area around her eyebrows and caught an infection.

Her story was later featured in the popular television program The Doctors where doctors tried to figure out what went wrong in Amanda’s case.

Amanda urges people to do their homework whenever they try any sort of procedure. “I want to make sure no one has to go through what I went through and that’s the reason I’m speaking out,” she said speaking to Metro.

Steve Harvey confesses his love for his wife on national television and we are all touched

 

Steve Harvey’s life story goes from rags to riches. Born to a father who worked as a coal miner and a mom who was a teacher at a Sunday school, Harvey didn’t have a lot while growing up. Not many know that Steve was actually named Broderick Stephen Harvey, after actor Broderick Crawford, but he never used that name and preferred Steve instead. After some years living in Virginia, Harvey and his family moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where he attended high-school.

Harvey worked several jobs before he tried himself in stand-up comedy.

He was a boxer, a carpet-cleaner, a postman, and a car-repairman when he first learned of the comedy clubs. “I had never even heard of a comedy club,” he told People. “I didn’t even know they existed.”

He had his first gig ever at the Hilarities Comedy Club in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1985. This, however, wasn’t enough for Harvey to be able to afford a nice life for himself. In fact, he spent a few years as a homeless person and was living in his old car. But things were about to change for the better for the aspiring comedian who is until this day known as one of the best TV show hosts.

His determination and hard work let Harvey’s talent shine.

Soon after, he had his own show which was very popular, but mostly within the African-American community. From 1996 to 2002 he landed “The Steve Harvey Show” on the WB network. However, he was yet to reach to even wider audiences. Luckily, it didn’t take long before Harvey made a name for himself. His shows were now watched by people from all over the country and today, he is one of the most famous people in the show business.

The six-time Daytime Emmy Award winner has hosted Family Feud, Celebrity, Little Big Shots, radio programs, his own talk show and written four books. But despite his enormous success, Harvey has managed to stay grounded and never forgot where he came from.

Steve was married three times.

The comedian has two daughters and a son with his first wife Marcia Harvey. After the couple divorced in 1994, Harvey lost touch with his kids as it looked like he put his career on the top of his priorities and didn’t have much time for the family. Later, however, he and his kids got on good terms and Harvey said, “Years later they said to me, ‘Dad, we didn’t understand why you left us, but we know now you had to go. You didn’t just belong to us. You belonged to the world.”

His second wife, Mary Shackelford, whom Harvey has son Wynton with, accused him after they divorced of infidelity. She was reported saying how Harvey left her with nothing and took her son away from her, which later turned not to be true.

Now, he’s married to his third wife Marjoire Bridges with whom he runs the foundation The Steve and Marjorie Harvey Foundation which offers mentoring programs, education, and financial assistance to families in need.

Having experienced the hard life, Harvey believes he has to be there for those who struggle to make ends meet because he knows the feeling of being less fortunate.

The life story of Harvey and Marjorie resembles that of the romantic movies.

The moment he first laid eyes on her in 1990 while she was trying to get to her front-row seat during one of his stand up shows, he said, “I’m sorry, I do not know who this is, but I’m going to marry her.” The comedian fulfilled this ‘promise’ some 15 years later when fate brought them together again.

Speaking of her love for Harvey, Marjorie told Essence, “I wish every woman can find a soulmate like I’ve been blessed to find. This is really my best friend.” Harvey never misses a chance to tell her how much he loves and how much she means to him. In fact, the whole world was a witness of a touching confession he made on his show on Mother’s Day in 2015.

Marjorie had no idea what her husband was about to do and she just looked at him all puzzled.

“I wanted to tell you..from the moment I saw you … the first thing I said to you ever was …‘I’m gonna marry you one day,'” Harvey started his confession. He then continued his emotional speech by saying that he would never be where he is today without her by his side. She makes his days and his life full and is the reason for his joy and happiness.

“You made my children comfortable and I existed before you and now I live. I never lived before you”, Harvey said. He adopted Marjorie’s three children from her previous marriage and together with Harvey’s kids they make an amazing big family.

Céline Dion reveals “deeply personal” documentary about her life is in the making

Whether it is singing, acting, writing, or something different, there are a lot of people out there who are truly talented but not everyone becomes famous. That’s because success never comes over night and only the most courageous and most determined individuals get to experience it.

When we think of all the celebrities whose lives are filled with fortune and luxury, we tend to believe that they had never struggled and everything was given to them on a silver platter. The truth is that most of them worked extremely hard in order to achieve their status and failed many times before they finally succeeded.

Before she became an international superstar, Céline Dion, who is now considered one of the best female singers in history, felt like an outsider and didn’t feel her best or looked her best. However, she was very talented and her parents knew that, so they decided to help her with her career.

One day, her mother sent a demo tape to manager and producer Rene Angelil, who would later become Dion’s husband. When he heard the recording, he gave them a call because he wanted to hear Dion singing in person. She was just 12 at the time and sang on a pencil, pretending it was a microphone. What Rene did after that encounter was ditch all his other clients so that he could focus on Dion’s career. He even put a second mortgage on his house in order to be able to finance her first album.

Dion rose to fame after winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1988. She represented Switzerland with the song Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi’ (‘Don’t Leave Without Me in Dublin’). The final was one of the most thrilling in Eurovision history, with presenter Pat Kenny joking, “I have to tell you that we employed Agatha Christie to write the script for tonight!”

Dion went on to build a tremendously successful career with song such as My Heart Will Go On, for which she received an Academy Award for Best Original Song, Because You Loved Me, The Power of Love, Where Does My Heart Beat Now and a lot more.

Dion and her husband Rene Angelil, who was 26 years her senior, had two twin sons together, Eddy, who was named after Dion’s favorite French songwriter, Eddy Marnay, and Nelson, who got his name after Nelson Mandela.

The boys were born in 2010.

“My greatest reward is my children. Unless you are a mum you don’t know what you’re missing or what it even is really. It felt for me that with all my children another heart grew inside of me,” the singer told Woman’s Weekly in 2013.

“I don’t believe in the umbilical chord being cut. For me it’s never cut, once you’re a mum you’re a mum for life  – it gives you true meaning to your life and it’s the most important job.

“Who cares if people like me as a singer or not, they can find other singers and there will be other singers. But no other mother can be a better mother for my children than me. My children trust me so much, they need me so much – that is priceless to me.”

Unfortunately, Rene passed away five years ago after battling lung cancer and that changed the singer’s life forever.

After his passing, Dion lost weight and her fans got worried for her health, advising her to start eating more. She, however, said she was feeling great in her skin. “I’m doing this for me. I want to feel strong, beautiful, feminine and sexy,” she told The Sun. “If I like it, I don’t want to talk about it. Don’t bother. Don’t take a picture. If you like it, I’ll be there. If you don’t, leave me alone.”

At the moment, the tour she announced is on hold because of the pandemic, but once this craziness comes to an end, she’s planning on continuing it. As for now, she will soon have her new show in Las Vegas.

Recently, during a press release, Dion shared that a documentary about her life will be filmed. The person behind it will be filmmaker Irene Taylor Brosky, nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary, Short Subject in 2009 for The Final Inch.

In a statement, Dion said, “I’ve always been an open book with my fans. And with [Taylor’s] sensitivity and thoughtful creativity, I think that Irene will be able to show everyone a part of me that they haven’t seen before… I know she’ll tell my story in the most honest and heartfelt way.”

Taylor also spoke of the opportunity to direct the documentary depicting the life of one of the best singers that have ever walked this Earth, saying, “Going on this journey with a legendary artist such as Celine Dion is an extraordinary opportunity for me as a filmmaker. Having access to examine her life and inimitable career, will allow me to create a multifaceted portrait of an iconic, global superstar, which I look forward to sharing with the world.”

Humphrey Bogart’s son speaks of his father’s passing and how he’s keeping his legacy alive

The cult hero of the American cinema and the actor who helped shape an era in the film industry, Humphrey Bogart, remains a true legend years after his death.

He was born on Christmas Day in 1899 in a wealthy New York family. His father was a surgeon and his mother, whom he later described as a hardworking woman who didn’t show much love, was a painter.

Before he started his stage career, Bogart served in the United States Navy at the end of World War I. He moved to film, but his appearances in the movies between 1930 and 1934 didn’t caught the attention of many directors and producers, so Bogart turned to the stage before he would finally make a name for himself; a name which stands for one of the most prominent actors ever. In fact, his career had such a deep impact on Hollywood that in 1999, the American Film Institute selected him as the greatest male star of classic American cinema.

Most of the roles he played are part of films that are still considered classics. Just think of The Maltese Falcon and The African Queen.

In the iconic Casablanca, Bogart played the role of night club owner Rick Blaine and starred alongside stunning Ingrid Bergman. The number of movies handsome Bogart starred in is over 80 during the course of his career.

He was married four times, with his last wife Lauren Bacall, whom he considered the love of his life, staying together until his passing in 1957. The two had two children together, son Stephen and daughter Leslie.

Great Humphrey Bogart died of esophageal cancer. He had undergone a surgery but never recovered. Speaking of his last days, his wife wrote in her memoir how he started looking as a completely different person, with his hand and arm being “swollen to four times their normal size” and a “terrible black thing placed in his mouth to keep him from swallowing his tongue.”

According to his doctor, Michael Flynn, Bogart put his hand on the arm of wife Lauren Bacall and said “goodbye, kid,” and that was it.

His funeral was attended by over 3,000 people, with all the celebrities of the time being there to say their last goodbye, among which Audrey Hepburn, Judy Garland, Ronald Reagan, Bette Davis, Joan Fontaine, Marlene Dietrich and Errol Flynn.

Humphrey’s Stephen Humphrey Bogart is a famous writer, producer, and businessman. Over the years, he spoke a lot of his father and what it is like being the son of the greatest American actor. Stephen was just eight years old when his father died and he wasn’t fully aware of the popularity his dad enjoyed.

Stephen recalls how his dad always put his family first and despite being busy filming, he would always find the time to be with his wife and kids. “He would take me down to the Santana,” he told Fox News. “Eventually, finally, when I learned how to swim, we would go out on the boat. I remember going to Catalina Island and swimming back to the Santana. I made it and he was very proud of me at that time because he knew that I knew how to swim. That kind of pride sticks with you.”

He also spoke of the time he couldn’t go anywhere without paparazzi following his every step.

“They came at me like a gang of big kids, taking my picture without even asking,” Stephen wrote according to The New York Times.

“I didn’t want my picture taken anymore. But now at the church, after the funeral, I knew how to stop them, I thought. I would simply put my hands over my face so they couldn’t see me, and they would not take my picture.”

Stephen is still doing his best to keep his dad’s legacy alive. He runs the page Humphrey Bogart Estate’s Facebook Page and is working closely with the Esophageal Cancer Action Network.

“It’s great films, great writing. He was an excellent, great actor and everything just sort of came together. It’s like being Elvis Presley’s kids. How do you quantify that? You can’t, really. It’s just an amazing thing to me and it’s an amazing thing that my mother and my father are my mother and my father. I mean, “oh you’re Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall’s kid?” I don’t think that way, but it is pretty amazing that somebody is their child and that that somebody is me,” he told Cinema Fanatic.

Caitlyn Jenner goes makeup free and confirms what we all knew about her

 

From the moment Bruce Jenner, the Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete, told the world he was transitioning into a woman, all eyes were on her. Today, 5 years after she came forward about how she truly felt about herself and her body, Caitlyn Jenner is still causing a stir. Some love her for being brave, others detest her for how she chose to live her life.

Caitlyn, a father of five, including two of the sisters of the Kardashian clan, Kylie and Kendal, looks very feminine. Honestly, one can never tell she used to be a man.

However, in order to achieve that, she had undergone a number of surgeries, such as hairline correction, forehead contouring, and jaw and chin contouring. Before having the most important surgery of all, gender reassignment surgery, Caitlyn had her beard removed and got breast implants.

Wanting to be an inspiration for others who are afraid to confess how they truly feel about themselves, Caitlyn wrote a book, “The Secrets of My Life” where she wrote, “The surgery was a success, and I feel not only wonderful but liberated. So why even consider it? Because it’s just a penis. It has no special gifts or use for me other than what I have said before, the ability to take a whiz in the woods. I just want to have all the right parts.”

Throughout her journey of transitioning to a woman, Caitlyn came under the fire of many mean people who posted mean and hurtful comments, but she was able to overcome each and every obstacle that stood on her way to complete liberation and happiness.

The 70-year-old even took part in a reality show, the British version of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here where she went makeup free and showed everyone how beautiful she truly is.

Mom has a warning for other parents after playground craze leaves her 11-year-old son “looking like an alien”

 

Kids are very curious by nature and want to try different things. Well, we’ve all been there, done that, right? However, parents have to make sure they keep a close eye on their children as much as possible and teach them things in order for them to be able to make the right decisions when moms and dads aren’t around.

An 11-year-old boy named Tyler Broome suffered horrific injuries after he tried a YouTube craze known as “the roundabout of death” and now his parents are sharing his story in order to warn other parents of keeping their kids away from such dangerous stunts.

Apparently, Tyler took part in the game because he wanted to show his friends that he was fearless and that resulted in him being left unconscious, with possible brain and vision damage.

The injuries Tyler sustained can bee seen in fighter pilots or astronauts who can be subjected to extreme gravitational force, G-force.

The game is played by partakers sitting in the middle of a playground roundabout while it’s spun at high speed using the rear wheel of a motorcycle.

Dawn, Tyler’s mom, explained how her son and a friend of his were at the park when a group of older kids challenged them to take part in the game.

Speaking to the British newspaper The Independent, she said, “I don’t recognise my child – he is on the verge of having a stroke. Tyler sat on the roundabout, and the boy who came over was about 17. Tyler doesn’t know him, they are not friends. He puts his motorbike on the floor, gets the roundabout spinning at such a speed. When they all stopped, the group just cleared off – it is bullying.”

When Tyler was rushed at the hospital, doctor’s were shocked at his state. They said they had never seen something like that before and had to do a research and consult other hospitals before they started treating his injuries.

“The injuries were so extreme, he just looked like the Elephant Man. They have never seen it before, they are going to make a medical report from it. His head has completely swelled up, his blood vessels have burst, his eyes look alien. His vision is blurry. You can manage a broken arm but this? He doesn’t remember it, he doesn’t remember the detail,” Dawn said.

6 Types of Boyfriends You Should Definitely Avoid

When you are really falling for a guy, it may be difficult for you to see him for who he truly is. You may think that he is the only one but beneath his good looks and charming ways of attraction, all types of red flags are popping up. Your friends might try to warn you about him, but you are way too sensitive about him.

Well, I am here to provide you the low down on all different kinds of men you will definitely come in contact within the dating world, and the ones who are not considered as boyfriend material.

So in case if you want to keep your feelings and emotions in control then you will find a perfect match for yourself sooner or later. Check out the following list of men that you need to avoid.

1. The Playboy
   Do you know a guy whose phone rings and buzzes every time you hang out with him? He may try to convince you by saying that it’s just his mom or his long lost cousin on the other end of the line, but deep down you know that it’s a girl. The player may try to hide his womanizing ways first. But slowly you will face problems that will automatically lead you to depression.
2. The Commitment-Phobe
   The commitment-phobe will clearly tell you that he is not looking for a serious and sound relationship and you need to believe him. There are a number of great guys out there that will prove a perfect match for you. Don’t waste your time with someone who is too broken to give a love shot. Whether he had a bad breakup or he is disturbed by his parent’s nasty divorce. The commitment-phobe will have a plethora of reasons why he cannot be your perfect partner. It is best to cut your losses sooner rather than later. Allow another girl to deal with his emotional disabilities.
3. Workaholic
   If the guy whom you like is employed than it is a plus point but if your partner spends a lot of time at work, then he is definitely a man you need to avoid. The workaholic will constantly bail out on dates to work overtime, and your conversations will probably revolve around business, finances, and other such subjects that are way too boring and will bound you to sleep. In other words, if working is his first priority then he is not looking to give you top billing in his life anytime soon.
4. The Control Freak
   If you don’t like being bossed around then don’t ever waste your time dating a control freak.
