Imbruglia tells how she survived depression and divorce
Natalie Imbruglia The Torn singer and Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns divorced in 2008.
Natalie is now back in her native Australia, where she is a judge on the country’s X Factor.
Speaking about her separation to Grazia magazine in Australia, she says she suffered delayed shock at the success she had been having until that moment.
“I didn’t have the tools to really know what to do,” she said. “I was a rabbit in the headlights. I didn’t have that much confidence to start with.”
She added: “I was never on medication, but I was quite depressed ... As you get older you figure stuff out and get wise. You don’t worry as much, you get comfortable in your own skin. I’m more confident, I’m happier, sexier. I was so intimidated by the whole success thing – I was too protective of myself, guarded, distrusting. Now I don’t care as much. I’m just happier. I’m in a good place.”
