The voice notes showcase Paul’s caring nature. Paul and Daniel struggled with the same issues and leaned on each other for support.
In one voice note, Paul says: “My brother, just thought I’d touch base really see how you are, how you’re feeling. All that jazz. Your therapist Pauly is here.”
Dapper then replied saying: “I’m fighting a similar to what you’ve been fighting for years, the self-destructive stuff. From the point that we’re rehearsing, I wanna go completely sober, no booze, nothing.”
Paul then replied, saying: “So so happy. I know that, I know, I know Dan, I know, I know you are. I know you’re one of us.”
Paul’s caring nature
In the Instagram video, Daniel said: “I don’t normally comment on people passing away, but I really wanted to say a few words about Paul.
“It’s upset me today hearing about him passing. He helped me, and he was so nice to me.
“He was my pal.”
Daniel then admitted that Paul had helped him change his life.
“People close to me obviously had said that I had a drink problem back in the day, but he was the first person to really put a label on it and introduced me to what that was,” he said.
Daniel then revealed that when he admitted that he was struggling with his mental health and addiction, Paul took him under his wing.
“When I finally admitted I had a problem and wanted to go sober, Paul took me under his wing. He showed me the ropes and introduced me to meetings. He made the process a hell of a lot easier for me,” he said.
