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

[@wendyH3907]

I could literally listen to Will for hours. What an absolutely gorgeous man xx

[@Clarkey1928]

lol

[@joelarama]

A great interview Jamie, thank you. The bullying and brutality I experienced at my Secondary School shaped my whole life. With such low self esteem and self worth I simply couldn’t mentally cope with the rejection anymore as a jobbing Actor. I became dependent on alcohol (almost 12 years sober now) and still suffer with anxiety and depression, good days and bad days. I remember meeting Will years ago when I auditioned for a boy band that the ‘This Morning’ programme were putting together. We chatted a few times, he was a really friendly, intelligent, kind young man. I’m pleased that he continues to be ‘contrary’ and to use his platform in such a positive, considerate way as many simply don’t. Good luck with the new Album Will, you write so incredibly well and deserve every happiness from life, truly.

[@user-zh1mr3wf3h]

I am sorry that this happened to you, however, I am glad that you are on the right track now and I am sure you will go from strength to strength. You sound like a very courageous and considerate person. I wish you all the best.

[@MargaretDeakin-d6m]

Will is so authentic. Kindness is a strength.

[@kelly21147]

Will is so articulate, loved this chat Jamie ❤

[@galex5060]

Such a great interview! Jamie, you let them speak rather than inject yourself into the thread of the conversation and by being so attentive and patient, they reveal so much of themselves. Well done you for being such an authentic and humble interviewer. And Will Young - you are amazing! You come across as clearly in touch with yourself and authentic and compassionate and down to earth. Clearly, from what you show, you have done a lot of deep diving and exploration into yourself and it shows. Also, you demonstrate that you will take no prisoners, life is short and we all better live it to the best while we can. Thank you for your raw honesty and trust in not only Jamie, but in the audience. It was inspirational and touching at the same time.

[@Kiinell]

I was in a brutal boarding school from age 7 and have never had a relationship. I'm 51. I'm glad Will keeps talking about it. The truth hurts, but it hurts worse if you bury it.

[@sophiew9246]

Ive felt this about private schools for years, i went to a private and so did my guy mate (all male school),he said it 'stunted him in life being able to speak with women' 😢 x

[@emmahayward6333]

I'm so sorry you had to experience that. It never fails to baffle me how humans can be so incredibly cruel to children. Sending love x

[@EleanorEvans-gr8rv]

Hi, this was an amazing interview, Will’s honesty is truly inspirational. I too have gone through the grief of losing a brother to suicide. Its something you learn to deal with but never get over, people treat you differently, even now 28 years later you still get that pity look when you talk about it, most dont want to discuss things but what people need to realise is that you need to talk about your lost love one. I just wish it was made more aware to others that its more common than you realise particularly with men taking their own lives even with todays knowledge it still seems to be a taboo subject.

[@Angie-ul8fq]

Don't you think Will and his family were so amazingly brave to do that C4 documentary "My Brother" ?

[@taracole6152]

Jamie, you are such a great interviewer ❤❤❤XX

[@craigmills3583]

Been waiting for this one. I’ve listed to a few of Will’s podcasts and I love his honesty and vulnerability with it. Takes strength to do that as a public person. And you’re a great interviewer man. Love your jo brand interview also

[@shirleycarter2451]

Love Will Young, so really enjoyed this interview. Thought provoking, empowering to seeing life in different ways 🤔. Thinking of someone who's just left the room, instead of them passing away, was so heart felt. What a gorgeous person through and through.❤

[@andrewgordon7629]

Really enjoyed the interview. Was so natural and free flowing. Thank you Jamie and Will.

[@sassijay]

I lost my twin like Will, not by suicide, which I’ve also experienced, but very suddenly at 35. I enjoy listening to his take on everything. Thanks Will ❤

[@gillstanley7904]

Brilliant interview Jamie. One of the best. You captured rhe real Will relaxed genuine, self deprecating and full of laughter and intelligence. Well done on the brilliant questions and great research.

[@knockshinnoch1950]

Jamie is bloody good at interviewing folks- he's a natural, so engaging. Will was a terrific guest.

[@upendasana7857]

I have no idea wht Will Young would feel anything but proud of himself,his successful career,so many interesting things hes done both in music and other artistic endeavours and all the mental health struggles he has battled with including the tragic loss of his brother which obviously must have been a huge trauma,he has every reason to be proud and feel fucking great about himself. I really hope he doent shut up about mental health and the effects of trauma and and abuse and how so many people are diagnosed with various mental health issues and yet its down to suffering the effects of various traumas both large and small and not always obvious ones either. I hope he keeps on speaking for people who dont have access to his wealth or economic privileges and advocates for people to have more access for tthe kind of therapies he had access to.Many people need access to more choice of therapeutic otions which the NHS does not provide and their lives don't need to be ruined if they could get the right help and support and also not get labelled and diagnosed by a mental health system which more or less ignores their trauma altogether. Keep speaking up Will for all those who do not have the voice or platform you have or if it effects your career then support others who are speaking out

[@chellie7887]

Thank you Will for speaking about abuse, it needs to be dealt with not pushed to the side. I was abused and it wasn't easy and does change your life for ever. I give love to anyone who has experience any issues like this ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kamilelovespenx8156]

Thank you so so much for such amazing podcast videos Jamie, they have helped me so much regarding mental health. You're such a beacon of light and joy and helping those with struggles by telling your own stories and being so open and also being able to laugh through the deepest life situations!! Thank you so much for being you and bringing the best out in your guests to spread awareness through such important things, We Lav you man! Have an amazing Sunday ☀️

[@MishkaUK]

I am not your regular, but every now and then catch a sight of a new episode. watching this one and WOW. reminded me how much i used to like Will when he was the newly discovered talented singer. HOw much I realliy liked his personality already then and ever since whenever i read his interviews or saw him in the media. Beautiful smart person with tuns of empathy and despite his privilaged upbringing understanding challenges of lives of others around while having to deal with all the traumas of his own life. Such inteligent and beautiful person. And your way of leading the interview Jamie, that only brought more out of him. Two great guys having a wholesome meaningful discussion. What a treat. Thenks and already look forward to what you do next!

[@Ann-fv8ik]

loved this. And Will Young is utterly hilarious. This interview was joyous

[@wendybeirne8597]

How true being in the wrong relationship is a very, very lonely place. Never a true word... just love Will, such a beautiful person

[@BeckiiSaunders1990]

It was today that I realised I love Will Young. The train with the sandwich is introvert heaven for sure. He is simply wonderful💜

[@Nomoreanons]

What a lovely conversation. I totally aree with Will Young about not thinking about departed loved-ones being gone.

[@shellyrowland5360]

Aww Jamie another fantastic interview...ur a joy to watch with guests...brilliant podcast ❤

[@barbarellajameswalker5400]

You make me proud. Never stop...never shut up.

[@tryingtracy9329]

I remember when he first appeared on tv and I was routing for him. His personality and a great voice was the main thing I loved about him. So glad he is back still sounding great and a lovely guy😊

[@Ruthy-F]

I saw Will in Songs From Far Away and he was absolutely brilliant ❤❤❤

[@clairepeters547]

I am even more obsessed with Will after this ❤ We have so much in common and such similar thought processes.

[@upendasana7857]

...also....I think its great that Will does smaller gigs in towns and places he might not ususally go to,I think people really appreicate it not having to travel to a big city and have easier access to good music.I wanted to go and see him but still haven't managed to yet but I'm sure its a great night out and intimate atmosphere.

[@judithwilson3561]

I only watched my first interview that Jamie did with Adam Lambert, and omg what a brilliant interviewer Jamie is. Since watched several more.

[@lynne1920]

Will is such a wonderful talented man .A wonderful podcast Jamie yet again x

[@MadcapShambleton]

Once again, Jamie astutely and beautifully engages in the art of conversation with humour and humanity. Thank you both.

[@khar12d8]

I think especially for gay men (I am gay) as you get older you see your straight friends and family start having kids and getting the Volvo and house etc... And that can be a strange feeling, certainly I feel that in my 30s and i am in a long term relationship.

[@nicolawhitham6964]

Interviews are just getting better and better Jamie. Listened to your chat with Rob Rinder as well. Both have been hilarious, emotional and insightful in equal measure. Keep them good chats going xxx

[@LauraStylus]

I saw this posted earlier but was put off by the thumbnail title…then I just watched a clip on TT and literally came straight back to YT to watch!! Great interview!!

[@stung3848]

Another brilliant one Jamie ❤ well done!

[@MayDillon-e6f]

Who doesn't love Will Young, lovely and a brilliant singer 💙🤎

[@melsyoutube]

this was a great episode! i really hope someone on the team switches the title to something like “will young: i’ll NEVER shut up about school abuse” - more people need to see this episode and i worry that because title focuses on him being single (which he’s currently not!!!) they won’t click and watch

[@aimeedavies3197]

Death anxiety is not spoken of enough, so refreshing to hear other people talk about this as I have tried to talk about it and it gets brushed off, I lost my mum at 16 and Dad at 27 and it comes in waves but it really is a weird feeling

[@BA-hp2fr]

Thank you both for this interview. Thank you Wil for talking about the abuse you suffered at school

[@helenreynolds7499]

Jamie can you stop having great invterviews as my fave keeps changing every week! Saying that, I have a very soft spot for Will and I think you do too, he is an absolute gent xx

[@darrenbancroft5388]

This interview was wonderful. Will is so great to listen to and you are a great interviewer, leaving him so much space to talk. Beautiful.

[@JojoLeighton]

Oh will you are amazing. I have anxiety and depression agrophobia and I could listen to you a lot more. Jamie you are a great interviewer and understanding person. So glad I've found this podcast. X

[@lisafrench5470]

Loved this past hour watching this. So natural and open. Admire Will for getting to the point in his life (mid 40's) where he truly understands himself ❤. I really respect the joint openess! Thank you😊

[@jeandillon7891]

What a wonderful interview. Love your raw honesty Will and the lovely humour between you both ❤🙏🏽❤️

Thank you, Will Young, for your openness and honesty ❤ There are topics you covered that have really helped me.

[@tillyp6]

Fabulous interview Jamie…so lovely listening to Will he’s such a beautiful man…❤

[@MrHomeeditsSoloTraveller]

Thank you Jamie for this raw interview! Thank you Will for your honestly, were the same age and I have similar experiences and not only that you really answered my questions about being single , I was shocked we both felt the same ! Made me 😢. Will your an incredible artist that I will always support ❤

[@ST-ic7xu]

Brilliant interview. Love Will. Jamie, you are a very good interviewer, you ask great questions and you allow them to answer where some interviewers don’t.

[@orshi215]

Will, you look amazing! I'm borderline asexual and I'm so happy within myself..People bug me all the time about relationships but I've learned not to care..💗 love you x

[@chaz7604]

Thank you for this conversation. Just thank you ❤

[@darrensmall5548]

Toxic relationships are the worst ! I am single and I am surrounded by couples who fake it.. Go on their socials and they portray their lives as 'perfect' but honestly they are all miserable and resentful of the confines of their coupledom ! SAD! I am so blessed to be my own man making my own choices ..its so liberating and I have nothing to prove to anyone.

[@caroleashe7846]

What a great interview! Love Will❤

[@Coastersandpop]

What a gorgeous fun and enlightening interview. What a lovely man!

[@trudicoyne1237]

What a delightful man. The interview was great too.

[@TheShonarob]

God I think I am a little obsessed with Will. I hope he has a podcast as he is so wise and wonderful to listen to. I love his emotional intelligence

[@Inkyplotsart]

Bloody loved everything about this - amazing you’re both ace 🌟☺️

[@sillysoz]

Amazing interview. I also have anxiety but feel it mostly physically, getting medication for the physical symptoms helped my mental symptoms as it was feeling so unwell and strange physically that made me more mentally anxious! It can be very scary, I thought I had a vitamin deficiency or something! Always loved Will and he's lovely to listen to

[@kellstinkerbell71]

Bloody good podcast. Loved will since the very beginning. He’s a fascinating person. Love his humour too. Mental health should be spoken about and you should not be embarrassed. I wasn’t into made in Chelsea but I knew about it. Wasn’t expecting much to be honest but you are a great interviewer and I really enjoy your podcasts.

[@jamessin1118]

Life will be about happiness and sadness and everyone life will be different. Life is about what you do in it that matters. Will Young was honest about his life in the video and I am glad that his life continues no matter how difficult life can be. Everyone life whether celebrity or not will be different as we all experience different things at different stages. Life is precious so please make the most of it all the time. I hope his music career continues for many years but glad he advises that he goes through all these life challenges with mental health such as anxiety. I totally understand it as others do . Also I hope he finds love as that is what we are looking for in life even though it can be hard to find it but it comes when you least expect it. Thank you for the video as we all strive to do well in our life while facing life challenges . There was funny moments in the interview as it nice to see the comical side of being human through a celebrity.

[@JenniferWoolley]

What a brilliant interview, love you both x

[@dq3974]

I’ve never seen two people with the exact same speaking voice! I had to watch to see which one was talking! Usually, I just listen.

[@LBRach]

Authentic, real, genuine, engaging.

[@jacquiburrows2120]

I Saw will play at kew the music he was so great not just his voice but how he interacted with the audience. He's documentary about his brother was so touching. Great interview jamie you are really great at it 😊

[@Angie-ul8fq]

Totally agree with you

[@Hannah-pk6iq]

I am going away next week on holiday alone. The number of people in work who have said 'who are you going away with?' and I say erm.. just me.. they all answer 'awwwww' !! as if I am some sad sack!! (I am). I let them know why are you saying 'awwww' ? I am am very happy thank you very much!!! and I can just please myself. Funny they all back track and say 'Oh I didnt mean that!!! eff em

Another fantastic interview Jamie 😘😘

[@Angie-ul8fq]

Absolutely ADORED this honest brilliant interview with Will, massive congratulations xx I was a massive fan from the beginning, have all his albums and last went to see him two years ago at Kew gardens ❤. Also need to add that I personally met his brother in rehab back in 2010 and OMG, fell head over heels in love with him...his only sign of vulnerability I caught at the time were the massive scars of cuts up both arms, I realised he also had his demons 😢 Was friends with him for a time until he met someone...And years later I saw the news of his suicide in the paper and was absolutely DEVASTATED and also really angry that psychiatrists hadn't realised he was in danger as I was, sectioned him and PROTECTED him more 😢 The Channel 4 documentary Will made a out his brother and his alcoholism etc was SOO BRAVE and I will always admire him for his authenticity and awakening ppl all over about mental health. THANK YOU SOO MUCH ❤ I have always wanted to meet Will Young in person and he remains one of my favourite artists to this day...im a year older than him so relate massively. This was just like watching him talk in private and I would have loved to have known him AND his brother more. Truly special person and I always realised it just from his voice 🥰

[@Angie-ul8fq]

I doubt Will ever reads these comments but Rupert died just like so many others of the patients at Capio Nightingale at that time. George Michael was my smoking buddy , I never realised what a big deal he was, he was just a grey haired guy who smoked roll ups (R.I.P), Amy Winehouse and Georgia Pemberton as well as so many others...I feel so truly blessed to have completely recovered from my anorexia, it was a hellish time of my life xx
