Kristian Matsson reveals days of running away from problems are over

He may be as publicity shy as ever, but Kristian Matsson tells Ed Power his days of running away from problems are over.

KRISTIAN Matsson, aka The Tallest Man On Earth, (actual height: 5’ 7”), is discussing his demons. “I’m really grateful that I have done well. But doing well doesn’t solve your problems,” sighs the Swedish singer-songwriter.

“Your problems stay with you. When you are playing big shows and people are saying nice things about your songs, you start to look at yourself from the outside, because that is how everyone else sees you. It changes your perception of who you are. Or at least it can if you don’t watch out. You need to take care.”
