'Was in bed for 3 years': Sia struggled with depression after divorce from first husband Erik Anders Lang
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Australian singer Sia apparently drew inspiration for new music from the worst times she experienced after divorcing Erik Anders Lang, a documentary filmmaker.
The 47-year-old celebrity admitted to experiencing "severe depression" after divorcing her ex-husband after two years of marriage during an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music.
The 'Unstoppable' hitmaker opened up about her new album 'Reasonable Woman,' which is being hailed as her "first solo pop album" in eight years, saying, "Well, actually, the truth is that I had just been every now and again writing a song here or there for the last six, seven years."
"I got divorced and that really threw me for a loop. That was such a dark time that I was in bed for three years, really, really severely depressed. And so I couldn't really do anything for that period of time," she stated.
