Ask your inner child what brings them most joy: that’s how we can start to find happiness and purpose as adults. Artist John Newman has recently pivoted his career in order to better serve his inner child.

In this chat with Fearne, John talks about how rejection in his childhood, coupled with the intoxicating feeling of being wanted by everyone as a famous artist, led him down a volatile path. Fame, he says, is a drug that was having an impact on those around him as well as himself.

They also chat about what happens when you’re fearful of letting anything ‘negative’ touch you, as well as what impact being aware of death from a young age can have.

John’s smash hit single Call Your Name, with DJ/producer Alesso, is out now.
