Duffy: I'm headed for a breakdown

Singer struggles with being in the limelight

Monday, 29 September 2008

Duffy is convinced she'll have a nervous breakdown because of the pressures of the music industry.

The singer, who was unknown just a year ago, says she’s struggled to deal with her sudden celebrity status.

‘As a girl I thought I was superhuman... but I'm borderline on a breakdown,’ she says. ‘The scary thing is that this feels just like the beginning.

'It would be easy to become a recluse... I have sold my soul.’

Duffy, 24, who grew up in a small Welsh town, is intimidated by fame.

‘I'm never calm anymore,’ she tells the Western Mail newspaper. ‘There's a lot to it I didn't think of. It's not the physical stuff - it's mental.

'It can be a scary when there are 15 lads on one side of a pub and a gang of girls on the other who all want a photo.’
