Singer Chappell Roan is struggling to cope with the pressures of the music industry, revealing that she is "scrambling to try to feel healthy" and determined to achieve long-term success without sacrificing her well-being. In an interview with The Face magazine, the 26 year old star admitted that the industry's demands are taking a toll on her mental health, saying: "I feel ambitious about making this sustainable. That's my biggest goal right now.
My brain is like: quit right now, take next year off." Chappell criticized the industry's culture of burnout and overwork, saying: "This industry and artistry f****** thrive on mental illness, burnout, overworking yourself, overextending yourself, not sleeping. You get bigger the more unhealthy you are.
Isn't that so f***** up? ". She also shared a disturbing encounter with a fan at an airport, where she was harassed and yelled at for not signing autographs. Chappell said: "I know they're not fans.
I said no. I was like, 'I don't sign anything at the airport, I'm sorry.' [One of them] follows me to the TSA line, starts yelling at me and everyone just turns and looks.
He's like: 'You should really humble yourself. Do you know where you are right now? Don't forget where you came from.' I'm just like: 'What the f*** is going on? '""I told myself, if this ever gets dangerous, I might quit.
It's dangerous now, and I'm still going. But that part is not what I signed up for." Chappell dedicated her best new artist gong at the 2024 MTV Vide.
