American country music singer, Tanya Tucker revealed that she battled depression when she lost her mother in 2012. She also shared that she suffered a terrible accident that made her undergo a routine dermal abrasion skin treatment.
“Something went wrong and I suffered second and third-degree burns all over my face, in my nose, and down my lungs. It was awful. It also changed my voice, which has been another obstacle I’ve had to overcome. I’ve had to struggle to reach certain notes, which I never had to do before. I probably spent half a million dollars on doctors. I took medications, did shock treatments, and tried everything with the exception of being put into a straitjacket. And yet somewhere in the midst of all this, I cut 10 tracks for a new album,” she said.
She added that the only thing that saved her was music and how people react to her songs.
“It’s my music that really saved me. When people hear these songs, they will know they are from my heart,” she added.
