Singer-songwriter Will Young has announced a documentary about the death of his twin brother Rupert. The Pop Idol winner said he hopes the film will shine a light on the difficulties faced by people living with addiction.
Rupert Young took his own life when he was 41 years old. He had been battling alcoholism for 20 years.
The documentary, called Will Young: Losing my Twin Rupert, sees the singer set out to understand the impact of alcoholism on families - while coming to terms with his own grief. And while Will and his parents recall happier times with Rupert, the film looks at the stigma surrounding addiction, the difficulty in getting long-term treatment on the NHS and the tireless process of rehabilitation.
