Sharon Corr on dealing with performance anxiety

In the new issue of Hot Press, Sharon Corr opens up about her second solo album, The Same Sun, her brother Jim's oft-controversial political views and much more.
The artist and recent Voice Of Ireland judge also talks to Olaf Tyaransen about her battles with anxiety.
She remembers coming out of The Corrs and feeling overstretched.
"I would feel nervous in silly situations. Like, I'd be meeting my friends for a drink and get overly anxious about something."
Motherhood added to the stress. Having become pregnant shortly after coming off tour with The Corrs, she had two children "back to back" and confesses she didn't sleep for four years.
"All of a sudden, I found the things that were most natural to me the hardest to do. Also I had performance anxiety on stage, and the reason for that was I was really used to nursing kids for three year...
"It's daunting going back into the world that you inhabited before you and children," she continues. "Unfortunately for me it manifested itself onstage, because it's high adrenaline."
