Former Iron Maiden vocalist talks about his mental health problems

Check out the statements

In an interview with Eonmusic, former Iron Maiden vocalist Blaze Bayley revealed details about the mental health issues he suffers from:

“I think I can consider myself ‘crazy.’ I suffer from depression and mental health issues, and when I was finally able to put a label on it, to understand that it’s an ‘illness,’ a ‘condition,’ only then could I do something about it.”.

“I no longer feel trapped by this feeling of loneliness and anger and this kind of emotion. There is a reason for me to feel this way, and if there is a reason, there must also be a solution, or at least a way to live with it.”.

Blaze adds, speaking about his time in Iron Maiden:
“I never kept my mental health problems a secret. I just didn’t know I had these problems until I left Iron Maiden, and I think if I had known, I would have dealt much better with all the pressure of being in one of the biggest bands in the world .
