James Taylor was faced with adversity
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Taylor described how family difficulties led to a stay in a psychiatric hospital in his late teens. He also dealt with depression, drug addiction, and failed relationships during his career.
Today, however, Taylor is 37 years sober and celebrating 25 years with his third wife, Kim. He attributes these successes to his music and the deep connection it makes with listeners.
"All I ever wanted to do was to play music and to have people enjoy it, occasionally use it in their lives, and make it part of their world. That’s a great feeling," Taylor explained to EW.
