We chatted on Facebook last Wednesday. Unfortunately the connection kept disappearing. He said he was ashamed that I was having to shoulder all the expenses. I replied to that but then had to go and get ready for a gig I was doing. I wish now I could have chatted some more but he'd mentioned his financial problems before and said he had to swallow his pride because of the love he had for me.

It is awful to be given this message by a third party and to not know whether I will ever hear from him again.
