Lil' Chris' sister Hannah speaks out
Our biggest killer is not being talked about and it needs to be now - because it took away my beloved brother
This morning we're waking up to the news that Lil' Chris - the singer who rose to fame in Channel 4's Rock School - died as a result of hanging. His heartbroken family have revealed that he struggled with mental health issues and depression. Today, in the first TV interview by a member of his family, Chris' sister Hannah Hardman speaks out in order to raise awareness of depression in young men. This will lead to a phone-in later in the show.
