Katie Melua feared breakdown would stop her making music Singer Katie Melua has said she feared her acute psychotic breakdown would leave her unable to make music.
“And I really like that because I think I can kind of really fantasise and go off and the future records that I’m going to make, but, no, (focus on) what is in front of me today and just sort of take one step towards that.
The British singer, who was born in Georgia, said: “I remember one of the therapy tools that I got from hospital was like take one day at a time.
The 40-year-old said she now wanted to make music “until I die” after the 2010 incident, which left her in hospital for six weeks and forced her to take a break from her career.
The Nine Million Bicycles singer said she had learned to look after herself better, saying she had found out what “small warning signs might be”.
