James Arthur says getting panic attacks is the "worst thing in the world" because he feels like he is going to die.

The singer told the Daily Star that he tries to open up about his problem as much as possible in an effort to free his mind of the pressure. The Brit said:

"It is the worst thing in the world. My whole life is geared to not having those. I just try talking about it as much as possible. The most important thing is to not let all these thoughts build up in my head because that can lead to a breakdown."

Arthur meanwhile recently released his second album 'Back From The Edge'. The record peaked at No.1 in the UK, although it only managed to hit No.126 in the US.
