Sharing the video on her Instagram page, LeAnn noted how she had been in two minds whether or not to reshare the clip alongside a lengthy caption about suicide prevention.

“This, in turn, can create a much deeper level of connection and help us to feel less alone in this world,” LeAnn, who has always been open about mental health, added.

Speaking to Insider at the time, LeAnn recalled “showing up onstage with a 104-degree fever” as a teen and “vomiting backstage” before going on.
“I fainted backstage at 14. I’ve had to walk off a couple of times on stage and just be like, ‘I can’t finish the show,'” she admitted.
She also added: “Being in the public eye from the time I was very young and having to override my humanness I think was a huge part of my experience with anxiety and depression and what was triggering it.”
