He revealed that he received chilling messages and newspaper cuttings with lyrics of his songs at the initial stage, reports a website. Andre, 37, told OK! Magazine, “I received letters like: ``I’m going to kill you``, with symbolic lyrics of my songs written on them, I was getting death threats, people were texting me with my parents`` address saying: ``Say goodbye to them``.” Andre was left so traumatized by the threats that he decided checking himself into a psychiatric ward for two weeks till he felt safe. "I was having up to 20 panic attacks a day, I couldn’t cope, I couldn’t work, I didn’t know what to do, it was a really bad time.
