Justin Bieber Reveals He Was “Really Suicidal”: “I Was Just Suffering”

Growing up in the limelight has proven to be difficult for Justin Bieber, but the pop star has found solace in sharing his experiences with a worldwide audience. Bieber has often spoken openly about the struggles he’s faced in his youth and how they have impacted him as an adult, and in a special documentary shared to YouTube today (October 30), he continues with his tradition of transparency. In Justin Bieber: Next Chapter, the “Lonely” singer shared that he’d previously battled suicidal thoughts and explained what it was like for him during that time in his life.

“There was times where I was really, really suicidal,” said Bieber. “Like, man is this pain ever going to go away? It was so consistent, the pain was so consistent.” He added, “I was just suffering, right? So, I’m just like, man, I would rather not feel this than feel this.” The religious singer also stated that his faith has helped him in his journey.

Bieber also dropped off a bit of advice for fans. “I just would encourage people, like, ‘Hey, if you’re feeling lonely, talk about it. Say it out loud.’ There’s a freedom in that. I could have avoided a lot of pain.” Watch Justin Bieber’s documentary special below.

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

KYLE

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
