Slipknot frontman offers mental health advice
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 21 August 2009
Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has spoken to London-based children’s mental health charity YoungMinds about his experience of mental health problems and coping with them.
In the video, recorded backstage at the recent Kerrang! Awards, which he hosted, Taylor explained that he had battled with drug problems in his youth, but had overcome them through his music.
He said: “Anything you’re feeling right now, no matter how strong you feel it, it’s temporary. You have incredible lives ahead of you. You have incredible things you can accomplish. If you feel that you will have an amazing life. Do not let anything build a wall to high for you to get over it – I know that might seem very clichéd but I’ve had a lot of friends who’ve hurt themselves, but all of that stuff is so temporary. You can get through it; you’re stronger than you think. You’ll always be stronger than you think”.
