THE TEEN POP IDOL DAVID CASSIDY IS BANKRUPT AT 65.
BUT BEFORE HIS FORT LAUDERDALE WATERFRONT MANSION GOES TO AUCTION, THE FORMER PARTRIDGE FAMILY STAR GIVES THE A-P AN EXCLUSIVE TOUR.
nats "There are some really rare bougainvillea here. "
"You see this? Their leaves don't fall off."
CASSIDY SHOWS WHERE HE RE-DESIGNED THE PROPERTY AFTER PURCHASING IT MORE THAN A DECADE AGO.
"Everything you see from here, out."
CASSIDY HOPES HIS 5 BED 6 AND A HALF BATH NETS ENOUGH MONEY TO ABSOLVE HIS HALF MILLION DOLLAR DEBT.
"Here's the gym"
SOUNDBITE (English) David Cassidy, Former 70's pop star:
"I used to be a lot stronger about ten years ago, but age and arthritis has caught up with me a little bit."
BUT IT'S MORE THAN SORE JOINTS AND ARTHRITIS CATCHING UP WITH CASSIDY.
IN ADDITION TO THE BANKRUPTCY.. THE RETIRED POP STAR HAS RECENTLY BEEN TO REHAB FOR ALCOHOLISM.
PICKING UP 3 D-U-I ARRESTS SINCE 2010.
SOUNDBITE (English) David Cassidy, Former 70's pop star
"If you were alone in my situation, I'd think you'd be very unhappy."
CASSIDY BRUSHED OFF SUGGESTIONS THAT HIS ALCOHOLISM WAS A FACTOR CONTRIBUTING TO HIS BANKRUPTCY.
HE SAYS SELLING HIS HOME OF 13 YEARS IS HIS OWN DECISION
SOUNDBITE (English) David Cassidy, Former 70's pop star
"I just want to get the record straight"
"The court can't order me to sell my house"
"Please print the truth! No one is forcing me to sell this house."
FACING BOTH BANKRUPTCY AND DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS, CASSIDY HAS FEW OPTIONS _ APART FROM PARTING WITH HIS FLASHY FLORIDA HOME _ TO PAY OFF HIS DEBTS.
SOUNDBITE (English) David Cassidy, Former 70's pop star:
"I've already accepted the fact that you have to do what you have to do in life. "
FOR CASSIDY THAT MEANS DOWNSIZING.
AT LEAST HE'LL GET TO KEEP ONE OF HIS FAVORITE GUITARS.
SOUNDBITE (English) David Cassidy, Former 70's pop star :
"This is coming with me until I pass away. Then it will go to my son."
CASSIDY'S HOME IS SET FOR AUCTION IN SEPTEMBER
