It's something serious that many rockers fans at one time or another – Stage fright! It can come out of the blue or just steadily builds. A lot of artists say some nerves on stage is a good thing.

In 1982 Andy Partridge, the lead singer of XTC, famously had what he called a nervous breakdown on stage while playing “Respectable Street” in Paris. Stage fright is actually very common Adele suffers from it. So does Donny Osmond, Eddie Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne, Luciano Pavarotti, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Rod Stewart, and Barbra Streisand.

I asked Anthony Phillips about his struggles with stage fright that may have started with him having glandular fever while in Genesis. CLIP
