“Looking back, I don’t regret the op but I wish I’d spoken to someone about how I was feeling first.”

This wasn’t the first time the singer has opened up about the dark times he endured as a child.

Pete was raised on the Gold Coast in Australia. However, he was one of the only non-white children in his area.
