Hadrian and his deepest revelation
In 2018, Adriano himself revealed that the death of his father ended up breaking him and it was then that he immersed himself in the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
“Only I know how much I have suffered. The death of my father left me with this great emptiness, I felt very alone. After his death everything got worse, because I isolated myself”, the Brazilian had revealed, adding that the big problem was also the people around him. “Friends who did nothing but take me to parties with women and alcohol, without thinking regarding anything else,” he concluded.
