John Mayer was close to tears while watching the recent documentary about Britney Spears.<\/p>\n

Britney’s rise to pop superstardom, her infamous 2008 breakdown and subsequent conservatorship was all documented in the recently-released New York Times film, Framing Britney Spears.<\/p>\n

And reflecting on the programme during an interview on SiriusXM\u2019s Andy Cohen Live on Monday, Mayer admitted he became emotional while looking back at Britney’s journey.<\/p>\n

“I almost cried five times during that,” he sighed. “To see the sadness in this human being, I almost, I mean the end, I mean, I was on the edge of tears five times, because if you understand what this business, slash industry, slash lifestyle does to a person. To go through this and come out the other side OK, is to have infinite grace for those who struggle with it.”<\/p>\n

John continued to say he doesn’t think he would have coped so well in the music industry had he been a woman. <\/p>\n

“I came out OK… I have a very strong feeling that part of that is because I’m a man,” he mused. “And I have a very strong feeling that a lot of these things that happen to female performers is endemic to being female. Why do so many men emerge going, ‘Learned my lesson. Yes I got dinked in the head, but I’m back baby?’ So I watched it with such grace for someone who got much more maligned by the inhuman experiment of fame than I did. And I go, ‘Why did I get through that? Why did I find my way through that obstacle course? What was afforded to me stylistically?’ <\/p>\n

“The stylistic difference of being an outlaw. If you’re a man, you’re an outlaw. If you’re a woman, you’re kind of crazy. And when I watched that through that lens, my heart just ached the whole time.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
