The Voice 2019’s Jack Vidgen has opened up about his singing career in an emotional Instagram post, telling fans he is “craving a sense of purpose”.
On June 13, the influencer bravely took to social media to share the struggles he’s been facing, stating that he “misses singing”.
“I’ve been really going through it lately,” he started.
“Not posting for sympathy, but I tend to try and keep it moving and respond to people with ‘I’m fine’.
“[However], the biggest thing I’ve learnt over the last couple years is when you don’t accept your feelings and feel them, they’re gonna come out in ways you don’t want them to,” the 26-year-old added.
Jack then shared that he felt “frustrated”, as he’s been “craving” a sense of purpose that he’s yet to find.
“[The music] industry is hard. I want to work so badly, but I sit in a funny category between singer, reality TV person and content creator.
“I miss singing. Sometimes I want to give it all up again.
“So much has happened over the years, there’s stuff that I can’t talk about that I hope I get to talk about one day, so I can feel some freedom from it,” he said.
Jack Vidgen’s friends and fans show their support in the comments section
Jack’s friends and fans flooded the comments section with words of support, with many stating that they’ve faced the same struggles in their careers.
“I hear you friend!!! All your feelings and thoughts are so valid. I’ve felt the same for quite some time. I’ll say to you what I often remind myself: ‘Remember your why’,” singer Omar Dean commented.
MAFS star Cam Merchant also left some wise words, writing: “I think your both fierce and frickin fabulous in all departments! With chats like this, you have more purpose than you can imagine.”
Influencer Kurt Coleman wrote: “Sending all my love,” whilst I’m a Celebrity’s Alli Simpson penned a simple: “Love you JV X.”
The post comes after the singer was forced to reveal he has Tourette Syndrome after viewers criticised him for “fidgeting” in interviews when promoting The Challenge Australia in 2022.
