Calum Scott Opens Up About Loneliness & Vulnerability in Coming Out Story: Watch

“I watched him tell everybody else in the group, one by one, and I felt my heart break because I knew none of them would ever speak to me again,” he shares. “To me, it felt like punishment for something I couldn’t control and something I didn’t quite understand myself.”

Scott admits that he was terrified of coming out after making it through to the final rounds of Britain’s Got Talent, anxious that he would have to endure the same loneliness that he did in his youth.

“I know that there are people, young and old, still struggling with the same questions and living with the relentless fear, the trauma, the heartbreak,” he says. “I make the music that I do because I want to desperately inspire the right kind of conversations. That’s what we’re missing.”
