LeAnn Rimes is opening up about her past struggles with mental health. The country singer is undoubtedly a vet of the industry, having rose to stardom with her first hit single Blue in 1996 when she was just 13 years old and has since maintained a consistent career.
However, we know the stories all too well of young artists being overwhelmed by the weight of fame at such an early age — and LeAnn was unfortunately no exception.
In an article published Friday, she explained to Insider the toll that spotlight took on her as an adult: Wow that’s a deep way to put it… having to “override” her humanness!
She recalls having to work like a “superhuman” as a teen which led to both physical and mental stress. She even noted an instance in which she went out onstage “with a 104-degree fever.” What??!
