Daniel Johnston was a cult famous indie folk pop singer and incelibate. He seemed to have severe schizophrenia, and there is much out there detailing his life in and out of mental hospitals, and debilitating unrequited love for various women. He may be the only famous modern pop musician to have been an incelibate.
He had a brief creative relationship with an 18 year old model and Celtic musician called Heather Stogsdill, however no evidence of romantic or sexual relationship exists, besides them co-appearing in a music video. His "most normal" romantic relationship is credited to a brief series of dates he had with Austin-based musician Kathy McCarty, however their relationship was chaste. Kathy's now husband states Johnston was not destined for sexual relationships and that he never found his "special someone".[1]
Johnston's songs revolve around unrequited love toward a woman named Laurie.
