In an unrelated health matter, the Sydney-born musician revealed last year that he had struggled with depression since he was a teenager.
‘As the years rolled on I started feeling bad about myself,’ he said on Anh Do’s Brush With Fame.

‘When you’re in that zone, you feel like you shouldn’t be on earth, basically. You’re a waste of time,’ he added.
‘You’re in a crowd with people and you feel like you’re the only person who feels like that. They don’t understand me, no one understands me, no one gets me.’
He even admitted to experiencing suicidal thoughts ‘a couple of times on the road’.
