The Lottery Winners Thom Rylance Finding Calm In The Chaos | #20
Manage episode 481881605 series 3620593
Thom Rylance, frontman of The Lottery Winners, joins us for a raw and honest conversation about the chaos of life behind the scenes. We chat about his experience living with ADHD, navigating the pressures of the music industry, and finding support in unlikely places, including from Robbie Williams, who Thom describes as “like my therapist.” From early gigs to near breakdowns, Thom opens up about the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Finding calm in the chaos hasn’t been easy, but he’s still here, still standing, and still got something to say. Enjoy, gang!
