Planet Rock and Kerrang! Radio will simulcast a special programme at 1pm today, World Suicide Prevention Day, focusing on changing how suicide is discussed in the UK.<\/p>\n

The programme, hosted by journalist Mick Coyle, is produced in partnership with Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) and will also be available on the Rayo app.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Listeners will hear a personal interview with Blaze Bayley, former Iron Maiden frontman, who speaks openly about his own experiences with suicidal thoughts and depression.<\/p>\n

Blaze challenges the silence around suicide, urging people to ask directly if someone is feeling suicidal.<\/p>\n

The broadcast addresses the misconception that asking about suicide can make things worse, instead highlighting that direct, compassionate questions can help those in crisis.<\/p>\n

Mick explains that research shows asking the question does not plant the idea, but can open a vital conversation.<\/p>\n

The special is to move the conversation from awareness to action, giving listeners the confidence and language to support those who may be struggling.<\/p>\n
