Marilyn opens up on his reclusive years

British singer Marilyn says he locked himself away in his mother's living room for 15 years.
The 53-year-old singer, whose real name is Peter Robinson, has revealed he went through a nervous breakdown in 1989 and moved back to his mother's home in Norfolk, East England, which saw him only leave the house to buy drugs, reported Female First.
"I think I had a nervous breakdown really. I made the conscious decision, I'm going to go to my mum's and I left my flat and everything in it. My career, friends, relationships, everything. I just went 'Leave it'. That was in 1989. I was sat in room on my own for 15 years, easily.

"In my mum's, I lived in her front room I didn't leave the front room for 15 years, except to go to hospital or to see a dealer if they would come and knock on the window."
Despite taking a dangerous amount of heroin and hitting rock bottom, Marilyn never contemplated taking his own life.
"No, I didn't because I would be dead or already. That is how it was. Why would I be sitting in a room with the curtains drawn. My world reduced to this," he said.
