Bambie Thug, who represented Ireland at Eurovision 2023, has spoken candidly about the difficult year they've had since the competition. While celebrating their success, they admitted to facing intense online negativity and personal struggles.
Eurovision star Bambie Thug has said they have had to deal with “an immeasurable amount of hatred” since the song contest. The Cork native was the first singer to qualify Ireland for the final of the contest since 2018 with their song, Doomsday Blues. But despite the non-binary artist’s achievements since Eurovision , they admitted they’ve been dealing with a lot and have been unable to celebrate the major milestones.
Bambie said: “It's important to highlight that while that's amazing, it was also a very difficult year of my life. I was battled on all sides. Where there was immeasurable love there was immeasurable hatred thrown at me. “I lost friends and my eyes were opened to so much wrong with the world and the system. I did it all while edging burn out, still having no base and in intense therapy for complex ptsd (which always decides to rob me of moments I should be celebrating). “The lessons were hard but I’m grateful for the lessons. I'm so proud of myself cuz I won't ever give up on me. I'm going into the new year definitely softer but also definitely stronger and dedicated to healing even more through honesty and art. “I don't know what is in store for me in 2025 apart from a bloody arena tour with Baby Metal...but that’s a pretty good start. Thank you to everyone who picked me up, held me and believed in me this year. “Take Care of yourselves, be kindest to your own heart and make sure you rest when you need it.....Of course there is new music coming, lemme reboot xx” Last year, Bambie said they learned a lot during the intensive Eurovision period. 'I think my media training went up tenfold, which is great,' they laughed. 'I learned a lot about performance for TV, which is awesome. I learned a lot of eye-opening stuff about how that side of it work
