‘I’m very, very sad’: Kyle Sandilands opens up about mental health battle following ‘clickbait’ 60 Minutes episode
Radio presenter Kyle Sandilands spoke candidly this morning about his mental health struggles, saying he’s ‘very, very sad’, but that Sunday night’s 60 Minutes interview wasn’t ‘the right forum’ to discuss it.
Sandilands and Kiis FM co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson spoke with Nine’s Karl Stefanovic on 60 Minutes with the promo running before the episode promising the radio host would reveal a ‘secret health battle’ which was then unveiled to be a joke.
"Inside I’m very sad."
60 minutes…used to be credible journalism..not anymore and that story is prime example.
Most people I am sure will be aware of the old opera singers who continued to giving concerts for years after their vocal magnificence had paled into a dry and droning tone, reduced in range and lustre, and with a pulsating semitone of undulation under pressure. They did this sometimes because they were broke, but more often because they were addicted to applause.
There are also celebrities, of varying dimensions, and whose entitlement may stand on solid stone or sandy land, who believe that any publicity is good publicity so long as they spell their names correctly. Publicity, like applause, may be highly addictive.
Depression is an illness and shouldn’t be joked about.
