00:002023 you walked off the stage at Glastonbury because it was just too much and then just a

00:12few days ago we watched you walk back on this stage at Glastonbury and you had arrived yeah

00:19what was it like to walk on stage but not just to walk on stage but to stop singing and have

00:26everyone be there with you in that moment yeah it was great i've just um it had been a long old two

00:31years as you said like from 2023 and 2023 didn't go the way i wanted it to in any respect um so yeah

00:39to be able to come back and do Glastonbury the way we did it and felt really special and just like a

00:44really full circle um moment so i'm really i just feel lucky that and really grateful that we got

00:53the opportunity to do it again because when i uh came into work that morning and i watched the

00:57video i was sobbing all right yeah sobbing so was that so we're all we're all because i think it's

01:04one thing to like you know walk away but to come back in the place where you walked away

01:10and to have those thousands of people say yep we got you baby we got you that's what it felt like

01:15for sure so i'm mad yeah so so speaking back to that time in 2023 i i feel that we've seen a lot

01:23of people take steps back simone viles uh you we've seen people zayn malik we've seen people

01:30say i need to take a step back and i feel like that can be very un understood if that's a word yeah

01:38by people who don't live in this world yeah how dare you what's wrong with you whatever but like

01:44life-saving for other people who might have seen you do that so as you took that moment and as you've

01:52taken that time away in those two years what did you learn about yourself and what gave you the

01:58strength to come back i i don't know i think it's a big old question that i learned that i'm probably

02:06more resilient than i thought i was uh i always thought i was someone who and i still am in some

02:10respect someone who bends at the slightest yeah inconvenience around that but um yeah no i

02:17probably i i really i'm someone who i don't really see things through quite a lot i'm quite bad at like

02:23making promises to myself that i don't keep but this time around um with this with doing therapy and

02:29focusing on getting better i was really saying to myself i'm going to do this thing and i'm going

02:35to get to the end of it and i'm going to um yeah make sure that everything that i promise myself i'm

02:40going to follow through on so yeah i think um that was just a big a big thing for me that sort of

02:47getting to no and i suppose i i'm not at the end of my it is a marathon yeah we will never be done

02:56exactly yeah yeah so it's a it's a case of just um yeah i haven't seen i've seen it through for the

03:03last two years and i've stuck with it and i think that for me has been the biggest thing that sort of

03:07um consistency with uh i guess i don't really like this uh phrase but like showing up for myself

03:12you
