The born-again Christian said last year: ‘I was on the dark side and I was very interested in satanic stuff for a long period of my life. I knew and understood the spirits as such (and the Spirit, the Holy Spirit), the spirits of the occult and witchcraft, which I know is a dark and horrible world.’
