Scottish singer Lulu said the process of completing her new memoir has been âso intenseâ that she âhad to go into therapyâ.
The 76-year-old was discussing the importance of mental health support ahead of a sponsored walk for her new charitable fund, Luluâs Mental Health Trust.
She told the PA news agency: âIâve just completed writing my memoir, or an autobiography, whatever you want to call it, and itâs been fairly intense, because I am 76 and being in the public eye, thereâs a lot of things I have not divulged.

âThereâs a lot of things I didnât feel comfortable talking about because, as a human being, Iâve had trials, Iâve had tribulations, Iâve had issues.â
Her new memoir, If Only You Knew, delves into her past and the singer, born Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie and also known as Lulu Kennedy-Cairns, said it has felt âvery catharticâ.
âThere are things you donât know, and Iâm going to talk about them, and itâs really in order to help, but itâs been very catharticâ, she said.
âIt is in order to maybe help someone else whoâs had a similar issue and they havenât dealt with it, or donât know how to, and I felt very alone in my head all my life, because I think Iâve been brought up to keep a lot of things secretive and keep it to myself, but that was my motherâs (era) age.
âToday, things are more open, and if it can help, if you can relate to someone, it doesnât make you feel so alone. So thatâs part of the reason for doing the book.
âThe other part is, Iâm 76, I might not last much longer, and Iâve got grandchildren, and itâs all documented, but itâs been very cathartic for me.
âIn fact, I had to go into therapy because itâs been so intense. When youâve kept stuff down, they (emotions) lodge in you. They lodge in your body somewhere.
âAnd sometimes they can affect your physical health, definitely your mental health. But to try and get them (those feelings) to come up, itâs been intense.â

The music artist from Glasgow said she wanted to establish a mental heath trust as she and her family have experienced their own mental health issues.
On Monday, in aid of the trust, Lulu walked from the east London location where she filmed To Sir, With Love and finished at the old Decca Studios, where she recorded Shout â the song that saw her storm into the UK charts 60 years ago.
She has so far raised more than £15,000 for the cause through people sponsoring her for the walk.
The singer performed at Glastonbury Festival last year and embarked on her sell-out Champagne for Lulu tour, which she said was her last.
Her memoir is due to be released on September 25 2025. She will embark on a UK book tour four days later.
