At an event in the U.K., Corey Taylor, the hard rocker with the strength to be publicly vulernable did something really heartfelt. He talked about how he’s been feeling and even shed a tear or two. The event happened on August 7 at a place called Pryzm nightclub in Kingston. Corey was chatting with fans, answering their questions, and someone even caught the moment on TikTok. He got pretty emotional when they started talking about mental health. It was a touching scene, and Corey showed how much he cares about sticking around and being there for his fans.
“I want you to know something”, he tells the crowd. “For the longest time, I didn’t have a lot of reasons in my heart to live, but as my life has gone on, and you guys have been there for me, you have no idea…” Starting to tear up with a quiver in his voice, he continued, “I promise you this. I promise you this, as long as you are here, I will always be here for you.”
Taylor showed his range of emotions later, speaking forcefully and direct when asked about what advice that he would give to his younger self, once again speaking to dealing with mental health
“Honestly, I would tell… and this is true, I would tell my 18-year-old self that it’s going to be okay, because no one ever fucking told me that. And anyone who needs to hear that, right now, listen to me. It is going to be okay, no matter what is going on, it is all temporary. And you can get through it because you’re fucking stronger than you god damn think.”
You can see both answers in fan shot video below.

This is not the first time Taylor has addressed his mental health, opening up on a larger level back in 2014 when he shot a PSA for the YouRock foundation speaking about depression and suicide. In the video, Taylor spoke of being homeless, battling depression and attempting to take his own life at the age of 17. He called it “the lowest moment of my life because I did it to myself.”
Of his own journey, the singer shared, “The only thing that really helped was writing. It felt like when I was writing I could work it out, and really be able to get my head around it. It provided a way for me to get that primal scream out, without having to scream. The scream was there if I needed it, but also being able to sing, and really get a handle on the emotions I was feeling without losing my mind. It was the sanity that I needed to kind of get my feet underneath me and move on, and put a lot of that stuff behind me.”
