Black Eyed Peas star Will.I.Am admits he has been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (Adhd).
The 38-year-old hip-hop star, who has opened up about his condition for the first time, said he faces a constant battle with concentration issues and struggles to compete simple everyday tasks, reported Contactmusic.
"I have Adhd. I'll admit it... I've got all this stuff in my head at the same time as I'm doing stuff and I don't know how to stop or slow down. But it's all good because I know how to control it.
"For every obstacle there's some type of solution. So if you have Adhd it's your passion point. One thing I learned about Adhd is that it's hard to keep your attention and you can't sit still and you're always moving and thinking about a whole bunch of things," he said.
