The pitfalls of life on the road have become exceedingly clear for Nothing But Thieves frontman Conor Mason. While the band was on the rise following their successful self-titled debut album, the accompanying incessant touring began to eat away at him. Starting with a lack of sleep, it quickly spiraled downwards into heightened anxiety and depression. Through acknowledging he had a problem about it and having the full support of his friends and bandmates Mason managed to overcome his demons, but he says it did shape some of their second album Broken Machine. “My sleep just deteriorated to an hour a night, if I could. It just made me have awful panic attacks, I was really low and really anxious. It came to a point where I said to the guys ‘If I don’t do something about this I’m out, I can’t live like this’.”

Can we stop talking about his appearance and appreciate how amazing he is? He made it through the lowest point in his life and he's able to be so open and honest about it. That takes guts.
What you mean his appearance bro he’s a cutie
You know she's a girl.
Daryl Smith Conor?
Conor can be a girls and a boys name.
Daryl Smith mate I’m not talking about the name I’m talking about Conor the person, he’s not a girl, if he was don’t you think it’d be everywhere , it’s also literally in his biography that he’s a male. So what are you on about
Ok are we not gonna talk how educated Conor sounds? Not just when he’s talking or singing, but like literally all the time.
We love you conor
You can hear the emotions in the music, music is so powerful.
Honestly hearing this makes me feel so much better about my own anxiety and depression. I love the songs and the raw emotion and talent that Conor and the gang put into it and it helps me and probably others so much with their problems. I love you all xo
Nveryll true
Love this guy. Love this band. Their music is astounding.
F*****g right on brother! I never post comments on TH-cam but it takes balls to admit to everyone something that is so confusing. As soon as I heard the new album I instantly clicked with it and I knew it was about something dark and a place I have been. Amazing that you have found the voice in this medium and your music!! Top bloke
I'm so proud that he actually get well and he can talk about it. That is brave and beautiful. Yk that kind of problems never leave completely but he is trying to be better and that is the most important thing rn
That entire album got me through my depression and anxiety in my fall semester and I’ll never forget that. Thanks Connor for talking about mental health
if they broke up id lose it :(
This is admirable. Conor, you're a beautiful singer and a courageous young man. I salute you!
I would love to spend an afternoon with this legend. Your honesty is humbling.
Know that your fans love and support you fully. Keep doing what you do.
Hearing him makes me feel that I'm not alone, it's like NBT hug me with they music and Conor just being friendly and that kind of things. He's such a pretty person and I really want yo hug him and tell him that he's not alone :(
We’ve never met but I consider him a friend through his lyrics
god i love him so much
Beautiful lad, inside and out x
got you in my prayers Conor, god bless and feel this big big hug from new york
Oh my fucking god I love him and I want to squeeze him.
The only thing that helps is knowing that you have a support system because no one gets through shit alone. Sleep issues plagued me as well. Sleep is everything. I get it...I'm bipolar and a high-strung musician as well. Having great friends and good listeners round you, that's key. I love your band, you and your music. Keep an open line and have faith- it's all about never going it alone!
We don't know how important our wellbeing is till we hit rock-bottom. I'm a mental health nurse and still became ill. Well done for speaking out. There is too much stigma so a huge well done for sharing your experience. We are all human FIRST. Take good care of yourselves xx
I'm struggling with anxiety disorder since 2002, it's really hell going through that. Respect to you and take really good care of yourself.
Glad you are doing well :) Cant imagine what you have had to go through. Your fans love you and your band. Your music is amazing and looking forward to more so keep going and take your time when you need it. We will all wait for you :) Much love
I honestly believe that NBT got me through the darkest, most horrific days. Still now, If I am struggling I will put them on and feel like I’m not alone. I don’t say it often enough but nothing but thieves are the reason I’m here and writing this comment.
❤
He is amazing. Their music has helped me go through so much. Beautiful song writing
Aww so lovely to hear this message, glad he felt better. I hope it lasted x
Omg:( I admire Conor, I think he has been trying his best and I respect that, I have similar problems, but all he says is true, love this guy and the band, when I listen his voice it makes me so happy, thank u Conor for make such an amazing musix
So glad he got through it… the world of music would not be the same… such a fantastic band
Thankful for his songs. His work continues to help my wellbeing
Good on you for speaking out & i'm so glad you got help..love your music, new fan since seeing you supporting Muse here in Sydney :) Looking forward to more stuff!
Takes a lot of strength to deal with this. Its a long journey, best wishes to all!
Love you Conor, thanks for this, best wishes to you and the guys
Please be strong my brotha, you got a very long journey to go!
Conor I want to thank you for talking about this. It takes a brave person to do so, famous or not. Depression creeps up on you, with insomnia being the first hint. Every little enlightenment helps. Your intelligence, creativity and voice make this world totally f*%#n awesome right now!! Thanks
I’m so proud of him💔
this is why I refer to this band every time I experience rapid cycling with my BP set on by MDD and AD. thanks
Thank you for sharing.
Conner ,
I suffered from depression for a very long time , until I had the courage to speak out & seek help , Nothing to be ashamed once family & loved are behind you 👊
You gotta take care of yourself first. I love your music, I love your courage, I love your honesty. You're a warrior, my brutha. Rock on with your bad self.
I can understand Conor about panic attacks, so scary........ Great Conor, keep it up 💪
Thank you❤
Thanks Conor for teaching us about how important sleep is!!!❤
Take care of yourself because your band is going to have a success as strong as Muse or Coldplay, surround yourself with good people too! :) ... and thank you for your beautiful music !!!
We live for your voice Conor. Forever
If I could, I would hug you Conor Mason! We love you ❤️
Twenty four years old and getting that out to try fixing it. Get it early and now the tools I wished I had at that age would have stopped a lot of grief. Glad he's doing better.
I’m crying how can such a beautiful bean suffer so much
We Love you conor! ❤
Total respect Conor xx
Music heals!
Conor is a true artist.
This describes the album.. brilliant...
Hugs x
24!!? i thought he was way order than me wow ❤
You can tell by the lyrics that he must've experienced some kind of anxiety/ depression in his life
Please look into Buteyko method in case of the anxiety hasn't gone... good luck, love
I love u Conor ❤
I'm from Puerto Rico. I like you so much.
The Best singer
conorrrrr
I think this is the backstory behind Particles, right? I hope that he really is done with this.
My love
I need Your voice ♡☆♡!
Thank you for your transparency man. So real... means a lot. I will be praying for you Connor. Jesus loves you so much young brother! He will never stop pursuing your heart! That empty place can only be filled by His love. He did it all on the cross when He gave up His life for ours! He bore all of our sin until He cried out "it is FINISHED"!!!! Conor the price and penalty for all sin has been paid for in full!!!!! All we have to do is receive the free gift of salvation!!!!!!! He made it so simple man!!!!! All we have to do is belive!!!!!!....just belive!!!!!! And I promise you that the peace you have been looking for your entire life will flood your heart like an ocean!!!!!! That's the gospel man!!!!! NOT RELIGION!!!!! Simply the love of Jesus:) He made my life new. God bless you Conor! Thank you again for being real.
So thankful he got better if he quit NBT idk what i’d do
Conor is a very cute guy, sure he has a feminine edge but i have a masculine edge, im proud of that, im still very much a sexy tomboy that can be very feminine and im sure Conor can also be very boyzy. He seems to me to be a sensitive person and that is how he is able to be one of the best lyricists and singers ive ever heard. So put away your crap judgement people and love who he is and what he gives us all. The internet is a strange and stupid place and i for one dont use social media because of the gargantuan amount of numpties on it. Conor ...long may you Reign. Much much Love xxx
코너야 이겨 내줘서 고마워 오래 음악해줘
what a cutie
No Conor tú no :(((((((((
Elle Mile que dice ?
Sleep deprivation will fuck you up.
no kidding
может кто то перевести?
Lera Klein Beseder девка говорит что у неё менстра началась во время записи альбома поэтому такой расколбасный звук
спс )
😘😘😘
my baby
Que dice Conor ?????
😘
Worst video title ever ???
Worst comment ever ???
@@FaceCulture ı was pointing the word "frontman" also I like how you answer it 😘
is conor trans? because he has a womans voice
No. 100% male. 😘
Fair play to him for being so honest about his problems, no excuse for that hairstyle though
I don't understand. Did Conor have a sex change? He looks and sounds like a woman. Was he a she before?
Reggie from The Bill no. Couldnt u just google it
He's just a feminine man with a light tenor voice. Many people first think he's a woman or trans man but he's confirmed he's just a "small confusing man" :')
@@sujatara He just has a lighter voice of an angel ...a st8 bean...with a sweet girl friend
@@emmam.9376 Exactly! His girlfriend is gorgeous as well
@Daniel IKR??? I googled it n found nothing. His mannerism n facial expressions seem very feminine. not that it matters I guess, but I too was curious.
He kinda looks like a trans man
Jasper Paolo thought I was the only one who thought that ^^''
Yeah, he Said "Coming out" or "Come out" and I was like "😱"
Where's your Adam's apple, "dude?"
He is little chubby so he might have under the fat in the neck, not! every guy has it shown.
if you look closely it's totally there, just like she said before me, he's just a weetle chubby in the neck and doesn't have a big manly jaw. AND HE STILL SEXY AS FUCCCK. MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY.
This is a women ..
Incorrect
Just a small, androgynous man.
He has a girlfriend
He would be a woman if he would feel so and if he would like to be seen as such! (which would not be a problem at all btw!). I would recommend you to respect the sexual identity of people as it is! You are nobody to make assumptions or claims about other peoples sexual identities. Just so you know you little troll.
@@danilolopumo5141 Yessss queeennn praise👏👏👏👏
this is totally a woman
