Well, unless you’ve suffered from panic attacks and social anxiety disorders, which is what I was diagnosed as having, it’s hard to explain it. But you go on stage knowing you’re actually physically going to die. You will keel over and die.

I was diagnosed with necrotizing chronic pancreatitis, and it definitely put a pause on live performances for a while.
When I was diagnosed with cancer, like so many other people, my life changed forever.
I’ve been diagnosed with what’s called vocal tension dysphonia. The muscles around my vocal chords kind of constrict my vocal chords from doing what they should do.

Being reliant on legal aid is probably inconceivable to most of us. But this is no different from other branches of the welfare state established at the same time as our legal aid system – being diagnosed with a major illness and needing the NHS, or losing a job and needing the support of social security.
I had a ton of energy, ran around like crazy – more than a handful for my dad. I was crazy. Dad barely handled it. I was never diagnosed ADHD or anything like that, but I’m pretty sure I had it when I was younger. It’s the only thing that would explain me getting into trouble all the time.
