Andy Williams Admits to Using LSD in Canadian Clinic

(Branson, MO) -- Legendary entertainer Andy Williams opens up in his new memoir that reveals his life in the spotlight was not all glitz and glamour. In his new tell-all book "Moon River And Me", Andy Williams talks frankly about his 70 years in show business - including some revelations that may surprise you.  He had a hit TV show, 18 gold and 3 platinum albums and a terrific family.  But something was missing. "The fact that I took LSD is going to surprise a lot of people," Williams reveals.  "And, England, for instance, from where we just came, there were headlines saying, 'Andy Williams was an LSD User,' which is not true.  I took LSD under the supervision of a doctor in a clinic up in Canada because I wanted to find out why I seemed to have everything, wonderful marriage, wonderful kids, wonderful career, and yet I wasn't happy.   In a life filled with memorable moments, some turned out to be tough to write about.  "One of them was my friendship with Robert Kennedy, and I was there the night that he was killed," Williams recounts. "And, I was supposed to meet him right after he got off to saying, 'I'm now on to Chicago.'   Instead went back to the hospital, and flew back on his, the plane, that I guess President Johnson had sent for him, Airforce 2, and then singing at the funeral.  And, then being on the train on the way to Washington.  That was all very hard to write about.   It was hard to write about my ex-wife's, Claudine's, accidental shooting of her boyfriend, up in Aspen, Colorado, and killing him.  That was hard, all the trial, and all that was very difficult to write about."   And at 82,  Andy's still singing one show a night, 4 months a year at his theater in Branson, relishing every moment... "I go out there very relaxed every night and really enjoy just performing and talking to people, and singing.  It's fun."
