1. Barrowman's collapse into depression after "Ballgate" is horribly familiar - it's what I went through during Racewank '07. I'm a terrible person, everyone hates me, my life is over. Anger helped me rally, too.

2. No, fandom, John didn't tell you at Torchsong that he'd injured his ankle in a car accident, and then swear you to secrecy. Thanks to the magic of third-hand gossip, you conflated two separate incidents - his poolside fall (bt dt ow) and the Fifth Gear prang.

3. Believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear.

"Ballgate"?

I'll second that!

(I hadn't heard anything about any ankles injuries, either. Obviously I'm failing to mix with the wrong kind of fan. =:o} )

I went to Torchsong and he told us (via video chat) he had stepped off his deck wrong (the deck being something like just a few inches off the ground) & snapped his ankle, which was why he couldn't fly to Chicago. IIRC he never said anything about that being a secret.

The video of that is even posted on youtube by those who ran the convention: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOFVa7uPxqM

I'd heard he told the audience at the Cabaret something that was supposed to be a secret, but I did not buy a ticket for that. Apparently the secret was about the car crash? Yeah, two separate incidents.

It can't have been that big a secret. If Barrowman sneezes too hard it's front page news. :)

Ah, Google my faithful friend, how much do I neglect thee? And yet here you are bringing me quotes from the book (http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/entertainment/showbiz-news/celebrity-interviews/2009/09/26/scots-star-john-barrowman-reveals-all-about-his-amazing-rise-to-fame-86908-21701892/), including the relevant one.
