Slipknot singer Corey Taylor has spoken to British mental health charity YoungMinds offering young people advice on how get through their troubles.
The video, recorded backstage at the Kerrang! Awards earlier this month, was posted Youtube yesterday and sees Taylor talk about his own problems when he was younger and how he overcame them through music.
The 35-year-old then offers some wise words to young people about how to deal with any mental health issues they may have.
He said: Anything you're feeling right now, no matter how strong you feel it, it's temporary. You have incredible lives ahead of you, you have incredible things you can accomplish.
“If you feel that you will have an amazing life. Do not let anything build a wall to high for you to get over it – I know that might seem very cliched but I've had a lot of friends who've hurt themselves, but all of that stuff is so temporary.
“You can get through it, you're stronger than you think, you'll always be stronger than you think.”
