Marcus Mumford was able to process his childhood trauma through the healing power of music. In a candid interview with GQ, the Mumford & Sons alum revealed he was sexually abused when he was 6 years old, and he only opened up about it while recording his upcoming solo album.
The 35-year-old told the mag: Marcus didn’t name his abuser, but he clarified the person was not in his family nor in the church.
The performer revealed his mother, Eleanor Mumford, learned about the incident “in a f**king song, of all things”: his new single Cannibal from his upcoming Self-Titled album.
