PINK FLOYD veteran ROGER WATERS admits that when under stress he bursts into tears, bearing the emotional pain he still feels after a troubled childhood.
After the bassist's father died serving as an ambulance driver in World War II his mother raised him and his older brother alone in Cambridge.
He admits the lack of a father figure during his teenage years left him confused about women, and now he's opened up about his innermost emotions, confessing he often breaks down and weeps over the slightest confrontation.
Waters tells The Sunday Times Magazine, "Learning to understand women has been an incredibly difficult journey for me. I hate anger in women, I've never known how to deal with it. The way I have always dealt with it was by crying, and I think women hate that.
"I have cried an enormous amount in my life. Under any kind of emotional stress I would burst into tears - in fights with the band, in fights with women, I would just weep. I'm being honest. I am not what people think."
After A successful career with Pink Floyd and a solo career on the rise he took a 12 year hiatus from music reappearing in 1999.
But Water's has always kept his emotional scars from his youth which became worse when he enrolled in Cambridgeshire High School For Boys which he states, ""I hated every second of it, apart from games. The regime at school was a very oppressive one ... the same kids who are susceptible to bullying by other kids are also susceptible to bullying by the teachers."
