WILL YOUNG: I DON'T NEED PITY FOR BEING SINGLE

Об эпизоде

<p>From the heights of winning the original Pop Idol, to the depths of an anxiety disorder during his time on Strictly Come Dancing, Will Young is a stalwart of pop culture, selling over 10 million albums globally, winning two BRITs and an Olivier nomination.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Growing up watching him at weekends whilse I was at boarding school, I get to chat to Will, my Saturday night saviour about <em>his</em> experience at boarding school and the abuse he endured. We also discuss the impact of Will’s coming out as gay in 2002 and the time a fan shared the importance of that act, and how being single in your 40s is not to be pitied. Will also shares with me the heartbreaking loss of his twin brother to suicide, and how he approaches grief with a refreshing (if not a little Greek) attitude.</p><br><p>After once falling out of love with the music industry, Will Young is back releasing his ninth studio album&nbsp;<em>Light It Up </em>(it's so great!). Through the ups and downs of fame, one thing has stayed constant: Will's resilience, grounded nature, and unwavering kindness.</p><br><p>If you enjoyed this episode, please click follow - we have so many great guests like this one, you won't want to miss out!</p><p>You can also follow us on Instagram and Tiktok @greatcompanypodcast</p><p>--</p><p>THE CREDITS</p><p>Exec Producer: Jemima Rathbone</p><p>Assistant Producer: Gurlina Heer</p><p>Video: Jake Ji</p><p>Social Media: Laura Coughlan</p><br><p>Great Company is an original podcast from JamPot</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
