Clayton reveals suicidal thoughts

U2 star Adam Clayton has opened up about his suicidal thoughts and bouts of depression in a bid to remove the stigma from mental illness.

The 52-year-old bassist, who is fronting the Walk in My Shoes campaign, said he felt unable to speak about his dark thoughts when he was at his lowest ebb, even though he was part of the biggest rock band on the planet.

The musician said he is now speaking publicity about his demons as part of a campaign to get young men to seek help for depression.
