in a brief but dramatic legal case involving his nephew this month.
"I'm in front of the cameras today because I really need to talk in order for me to start my healing process. For two weeks I was not allowed to defend myself because I was following procedure where the law obligated me not to talk until I was in front of a judge. "To the person that was claiming this nonsense, I wish you the best. And I wish he finds the help so he can start a new life filled with love and truth and joy and he doesn't hurt anybody else. Now, my priority is to heal and how do I heal? With music. I cannot wait to be back onstage. I cannot wait to be back in front of cameras and entertain, which is what I do best. Thank you to all my friends. Thank you to all the fans who always believed in me.
