Tom Grennan has admitted he found himself in a ‘sinking hole’ as he opened up about his mental health.
The singer, 29, who has always been candid about his struggles, told how he began to write music as a way of expressing his feelings.
Speaking to broadcaster Roman Kemp for mental health charity YoungMinds, Tom said: ‘Something dramatically happened to me where I just found myself in this sinking hole.
‘I couldn’t get out of bed, I thought the whole world was against me. I thought I wasn’t good enough, I never had been somebody who would talk about my feelings, especially to my friends and not to my parents, either.
‘So then I started to just write little notes in a notepad and then picked up a guitar.

‘And I was like, singing these lyrics that I was writing that was really telling myself what’s going on.’
Bedford-born Tom said writing his feelings down helped him to form a deeper connection to his mother.
He explained: ‘I think that’s where I then, we’re talking about connection, a real connection happened between me and my Mum. I could really open up to my Mum and start talk about what was going on.
‘And then like, I went to therapy and I found somebody who really understood what I was going through and how it helped me direct these thoughts and put them into context.’
