10-year old Prodigy Yuto Miyazawa Overdoses on Pixie Sticks

What a tragedy if this special child ends up not able to perform because of an addiction. Accordin to the article below, his mother says that Yuto was taking in over a pound of pixie stick powder a day. He was uncontrollable at home, jumping off the walls like a maniac. His sickness was affecting his music, his family life and his school work. I sincerely hope that he gets the right help now before it's too late.

10-year old Prodigy Overdoses on Pixie Sticks, Ozzy Again Left to Own Devices

theumpteenthtimes.com:

LOS ANGELES—After capturing the world’s attention by performing “Crazy Train” on stage with the madman himself, Ozzy Osbourne, 10-year old Japanese guitar prodigy, Yuto Miyazawa, has suddenly found himself at the Betty Ford Clinic, the very same place that helped Ozzy recover from alcoholism many moons ago. Miyazawa’s troubles, however, do not stem from alcohol but from an addiction to a substance that can be even more destructive: pixie sticks.

“Yuto was taking in over a pound of pixie stick powder a day,” said his mother, Hija, through a translator. “He was uncontrollable at home, jumping off the walls like a maniac. His sickness was affecting his music, his family life and his school work. Not to mention his Boggle performance. Not many people know this but he is also a genius when it comes to spelling words. Unfortunately with his pixie stick troubles, he went from spelling words like ‘anti-imperialism’ to spelling words like ‘gum’ and ‘bug.’”

Meanwhile, Ozzy, who had already begun writing an album with Miyazawa, has been forced to piece together songs by himself, which unfortunately has never been his forte. This situation mirrors the time Ozzy experienced after Randy Rhodes’ untimely death, when Ozzy felt unsure of his musical future. When asked whether or not he fears that his next album will fall short of listeners’ expectations, Ozzy confused reporters by simply mumbling, “What?! Bloody hell! Who’s that big necktie with the golden duck?”

According to Ozzy’s wife/manager, Sharon Osbourne, Miyazawa’s trouble with pixie powder is a temporary setback and she and Ozzy both expect him to return to form as soon as possible. She denied rumors of Ozzy taking apart a piano to see how it works and insisted that he never entered that 7-11 in Hollywood, claiming he was “The Twinkie Messiah.”
