Hayley Williams "blacked out" while performing Misery Business with PinkPantheress at Austin City Limits.
The Paramore front woaman suffered a brief episode while duetting with the Boy's a Liar singer at the music festival in 2022.
She told Amy Poehler on the Good Hang podcast: "I blacked out on stage at ACL [Austin City Limits] the last album cycle.”
"PinkPantheress was on stage singing Misery Business [and] I had this moment where I was like, ‘I just went out for two minutes and I came out.' Turns out I was sick,” she added.
Elsewhere in the candid conversation, Hayley admitted there have been "plenty of times" when she's "wanted to not be here."
The Paramore front woman has spoken openly about her struggles with her mental health and how songwriting has been like therapy.
Speaking candidly to Amy Poehler on her Good Hang podcast, she said the writing of the track Last Hope about Zac Farro and Josh Farro departing the Misery Business group in 2010: "I just remember writing it and being like, ‘This is so sad,' and unfortunately [that] is how I feel.”
Hayley noted, "I've really struggled with my mental health. I've wanted to not be here plenty of times. That song kinda expressed that in the moment for me."
Whenever the songstress performs Last Hope, she is reminded that she is not alone in her struggles, noting how "everyone in the room has survived so many things. And we're all here. Half of us will never see each other again. It really does something to those types of songs."
"I wrote them in isolation, and now here I am, not only [being] witnessed but bear[ing] witness to all these other experiences that have coalesced,” Hayley Williams concluded.
