Singer Kate Ceberano reveals she struggled with low self-esteem during lockdown: ‘I felt like I was completely useless’
Kate Ceberano has opened up about how she’s struggled with feeling “useless” during the pandemic lockdowns.
The 56-year-old singer admits her self-esteem dropped when she couldn’t perform in front of an audience.
“I think I felt like I was completely pointless. I felt like there was nothing I could do that was of value to anyone or anybody,” she tells the Daily Telegraph.
“All my life I’ve managed to get someone to sing along and make Friday nights better.” “I’ve made them feel their weddings matter and helped people weather drought and fire better,” continued Kate.
“During Covid I just felt completely useless.” I just thought I had better start deciding where I want to get my head off the Covid-19 crisis. What value will I have?’

Kate said she is busy hosting a TV show from home and hosting a concert for her viewers every Friday night.
This innovation led to her being inspired to record new music and eventually releasing her latest album, My Life is a Symphony, which she recorded with support from the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
In November, Kate celebrated her 56th birthday and reflected on how “lucky” she was to have reached the milestone.
The Bedroom Eyes singer shared a beaming birthday selfie with her Facebook followers, captioning it with a few thoughtful words.
“I think I felt like I was completely pointless. “I felt like there was nothing I could do that was of value to anyone or anybody,” she said
“I feel so lucky today.” I have a house over my head, music, art and travel. “Not everyone is so lucky,” she wrote.
Kate said she feels fortunate to have had advantages in life and always tries to be considerate of those who are struggling.
“In a world that’s busy building and tearing itself down, I consider these things a tremendous privilege.” “I never take them for granted,” she said.
Kate first rose to fame in the early ’80s as the lead singer of seminal Melbourne funk-pop band I’m Talking.
She’s also had success as a solo artist, with hits like “Young Boys Are My Weakness” and “Pash.”
