"I could have avoided other mistakes during these six beautiful years," says the singer. "I can't help but consider our human nature, which is made up of trial and error," he adds.

"It's a shame that we had to go through all of this to get to where we are now," he says, referring to his split from his wife of six years, Giorgio Armani. The pair have been together for six years and have a daughter together. "We are in the middle of a very difficult time in our lives," says Armanini, "and it's very difficult to be here."
