"The amount of hate and disbelief around me from strangers on the internet or bitter musicians really weighs on my heart." Slayer and Anthrax members voice support for Yungblud following "breakdown"

Yungblud.

Slayer/Exodus guitarist Gary Holt and Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian have offered their support to Yungblud after the English pop-rock star shared an emotionally raw social media post detailing what he says was a "breakdown" following his Bludfest headline show in Czechia last week.

The Yorkshire-born musician played to 20,000 fans in Hradec Králové at what was the first international staging of his bespoke festival. Alongside a video clip showing him sobbing onstage, the 28-year-old singer-songwriter born Dominic Harrison issued a statement admitting that he has been "struggling" with his mental health in recent months.

"Honestly, I’ve been debating whether or not I should post this clip because I don’t want it to feel disingenuous like I’m doing it for a reason like clicks or personal game but at the end of the day this is what happened and it’s genuine so I thought fuck it," he wrote in a new post titled 'Warning. Truth incoming.'
