Let’s Talk – mental health: Last News

Yungblud has opened up about his love-hate relationship with social media, saying “it’s damaged me more than anything in my life.”In a new interview with MusicWeek, Yungblud spoke about the pressure of social media on artists, particularly seeing opinions from people “in real time” on a mass scale.He explained: “It’s hard being on the internet, and the craziest thing about being ‘successful’ – whatever that means now – is that you have opinion[s] in real time.“He continued: “Can you imagine if Pink Floyd had that while putting ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon out?’ They probably wouldn’t have fucking done it. They didn’t have the whole world on their phone going, ‘You’re sick, you’re shit, you’re fake, you’re a liar, you’re dope, I hate you, I love you, my sister loves you, blah, blah, blah.’“People love you or hate you, and it’s really hard to deal with because you become fucking ketchup.

Les Savy Fav frontman Tim Harrington has spoken to NME about the band’s return to recording with their new album ‘OUI LSF’, their first in 14 years – and how it was shaped by his bipolar diagnosis.The New York veterans’ sixth LP comes following an extended hiatus, that saw Harrington turn his hand to writing children’s books and getting a “jobby” job as a creative director, while bassist Syd Butler and guitarist Seth Jabour joined the 8G Band (house musicians on the talk show Late Night With Seth Myers), drummer Harrison Haynes focussed on fine art, and guitarist Andrew Reuland worked in film and television as a writer and editor.Harrison, however, alo endured “a rough period with mental health” after being diagnosed with bipolar during the time between Les Savy Fav albums.“I hear a lot of creative people, when they talk about mental health and getting it together and finally getting on meds, they’re like, ‘Oh, [the creativity] is gone, I can’t find it.’ For me, I had to come to the realisation that it’s always there. I’m always me.
