The "Golden Voice" is Going to Rehab

I had a feeling the transition to sudden fame was going to be a problem for Ted Williams, and apparently he was not completely truthful in the original video when he said he'd been sober for two years.

Golden-voiced Ohio homeless man-turned-celeb Ted Williams, 53, is on his way to rehab.

During a taping of the Dr. Phil Show today in Los Angeles, Ted Williams -- with his family's support -- said he has decided to enter a private rehabilitation treatment facility for his alcohol and drug dependency, a show spokeswoman says. Williams came to the conclusion following a lengthy one-on-one conversation with Dr. Phil, which will air tomorrow.

According to the article Williams has been drinking daily, so he's got some work to do to really kick his habits.

I genuinely wish this guy well. He has a God-given gift of a voice that could make him millions. I just hope he has the personal fortitude to kick his habits and take advantage of the gift.
