In the since-deleted clip, Elkington is seen dancing bottomless in front of Flume’s face when he responds to a fan-made sign asking, “Does Flume even eat ass?” The raunchy video, posted by the 27-year-old DJ’s rumored girlfriend Paige Elkington, was also captioned with “Sorry mom.” In it, he’s smiling and eating a peach - a k a the universal emoji symbol for a butt. “Like literally if I didn’t go on this medication, I would have quit touring forever.DJ Flume performs sex act live onstage at Burning Man “It was a joke (sorry mum),” the Australian entertainer captioned the selfie he posted to Instagram and Twitter late Wednesday. Whether its meditation or practising going out and becoming comfortable with it over time like this was my last resort.” “I’ve always had anxiety problems, like social anxiety problems and I was really against taking anything for it initially because that’s my natural stance. He also said that he wasn’t super into the idea of taking medication to help with his anxiety, but now realises that if he didn’t go on them, he wouldn’t be playing live shows anymore. I feel like a bad person for saying that, but I love making music but I hate touring.’”įlume said that with the help of his therapist, changing the way he approaches live shows and what he does on stage, shortening tours and doing them in short bursts instead, and a script for antidepressants, he’s been able to appreciate and fall back in love with touring and performing for fans.
“I went to a therapist and I was like ‘I hate my job, and it’s fucked that I can even say that because I have an incredible job that people dream of having. I think I wanna quit unless I can figure something else out.” “When I have to use alcohol, like, I’m not having fun with this. “I was at a point where I was like ‘I don’t wanna do this anymore.’,” he said. Even to this day, after I’ve done thousands of shows, I still get anxious.”Ī post shared by Flume went on to explain that his anxiety around performing in front of massive crowds and having to drink to help with the nerves and public speaking – his “biggest nightmare” – made him hate his job and left him wanting to quit. “The second I enter the festival I’m riddled with anxiety. “Now I don’t drink before shows, because I kind of realised that was a pattern, and it was getting pretty bad. I’m just not a performer and I’ve definitely used alcohol to feel comfortable on stage in front of people. I would drink to make it bearable, which sounds crazy but really it’s the truth. Like, when performing, I would drink to calm nerves. “I mean I used a lot of alcohol,” he said.
