Cassidy adds, 'The fact is that I lied about my drinking. I did this to myself to cover up the sadness and the emptiness.'
It's been revealed that the star was still abusing alcohol until the last months of his life, and admission that has shocked family, friends and fans.
Partridge costar Danny Bonaduce, said: 'Part of alcoholism is lying. When you’re an addict, you know you can’t be honest with people. You say what you want them to hear. I can’t be mad at David for that, but it’s still a tragedy.'
Producers of the docu-series debated what they should do with the footage and ultimately decided to edit it into a documentary titled David Cassidy: the Last Session. In the documentary, a frail and weak Cassidy deals with health problems and memory loss as he records a new album in an attempt to stage a comeback.
