Orville Peck has opened up about the catalyst of his cancelled 2023 Bronco Tour.

The 38-year-old country singer revealed that he attempted suicide prior to announcing he needed to halt the tour, citing mental health issues.

‘I was a bad addict, a coping alcoholic,’ he admitted in a new Rolling Stone interview. ‘And I had this spiral moment, where I went back to my hotel and tried to take my life.’

Looking back on the harrowing moment, he reflected, ‘It was a big turning point for me, with a lot of realizations to come. It was something that needed to happen.’

The South African-born musician described the time period, which also included a breakup and rehab stint, as ‘one of the worst places’ of his life.

It led to the creation of his upcoming album Mule, which is slated for release on September 18.
