Following a painful split from Orlando Bloom in 2017, pop star Katy Perry admits that she battled with depression and suicidal thoughts.
In a recent interview with Canadian radio show “Q on CBC,” Perry shared that she had a complete mental breakdown that led her to thinking taking her own life was the best way out.
The break-up with the love of her life compounded with declining album sales caused the struggling “Daisies” singer to hit rock bottom. The then-35-year-old’s album, Witness, had miserably failed to live up to its hype and revenue stream.
The crumbling of her two great loves—Bloom and music—sent the singer into a downward spiral of despair she feared she may never be able to crawl out of alive.
“My career was on this trajectory when it was going up, up, and up, and then I had the smallest shift, not that huge from an outside perspective. But for me it was seismic,” said Perry.
That ‘seismic’ career shift coupled with relationship strife “literally broke [her] in half.”
