Guy Sebastian reveals the shock reason for his 10kg weight loss as he was left 'rake thin' after plunging down to just 67 on the scale
Guy Sebastian has revealed that his weight plunged as he was locked in a legal battle with his former manager. The Battle Scars hitmaker told the A Life of Greatness with Sarah Grynberg podcast this week that the stress of the court clash left him 'rake thin'. 'I was right smack bang in the middle of the biggest tour I've ever done, really…I should be feeling on top of the world. But in fact, I weighed 67.5 kilos' he said. 'Which is almost ten kilos less than what I normally weigh. I was rake thin.' The 43-year-old pop star went on to explain the physical toll the legal war took on him. 'I was not sleeping. I had black eyes underneath. I was in a terrible place, going from the witness box' he said. 'I had to charter a plane to get to my sound check on time to do a meet and greet soundcheck, and then fly back and give evidence the next day. 'So mentally going from one extreme to the next, survival mode.' Guy's former manager Titus Day was jailed for at least two and a half years in November 2022 after a jury found him guilty of 34 fraud-related charges, including misappropriating more than $620,000. He successfully quashed his convictions on appeal last year and is back in court for a retrial this week. The manager to the stars has continued to deny the allegations against him. Guy said that he still hasn't processed the difficult situation and was dreading the return to court. 'It's a really difficult process and I don't even know what I can talk about' he admitted. It comes after Guy sensationally quit his high profile gig on The Voice Australia. The 43-year-old pop star went on to explain the physical toll the legal war took on him. 'I was not sleeping. I had black eyes underneath. I was in a terrible place, going from the witness box' he said.

'I have some news to share with you all regarding my role as a Voice coach,' he began. 'I have made the decision to take a break from the best red chair on the planet. 'It's been six amazing years as a coach and it's honestly been the best gig ever! I have nothing but good things to say about the show itself, and sharing the panel with such amazing coaches has been a pleasure.' Continuing, Sebastian admitted he was walking away from the show to focus more on writing and performing. 'For me right now, it's time to focus more on my core, which is writing and performing new music,' he wrote. 'I am busy planning shows in Australia and worldwide and I am really looking forward to getting out and connecting with you all there.'

Bindi Irwin reveals she was 'really sick' for '10-plus years': 'Doctors didn't know'
Bindi Irwin has shared more about her private health battle with endometriosis that went undiagnosed for over ten years. The 26-year-old has revealed the path to getting diagnosed was a very long one, with doctors claiming the pain she was suffering was all in her mind, or "part of being a woman". Bindi shared in an episode of the A Life Of Greatness podcast that she was motivated to get to the bottom of her pain after giving birth to her daughter Grace in 2021. Speaking to host Sarah Grynberg, she said, "I went for 10 years undiagnosed because doctors really didn't know enough." "They diagnosed me with a million other things like IBS or it's hormones or it's just part of being a woman and the symptoms continue to snowball.

I had CT scans, MRI scans, ultrasounds, blood tests. I was tested for every disease, tropical disease. Everything you could imagine because I was so sick for so long and just nothing came back. "So doctor, after doctor would say, 'hey, it's just part of being a woman. There's really nothing wrong with you'. And I was just getting more and more unwell." When a friend of hers received treatment for endometriosis and told Bindi her symptoms, the Wildlife Warrior realised that her symptoms lined up with her friend's. Bindi went to the US for an operation, where the surgeon found "over 30 lesions". "For me, if I hadn't gotten surgery, the next five years of my life would have been very make or break because I was having real problems, um, internally," she said. She explained that she had "an enormous chocolate cyst" which was causing "agonising pain" as it had "adhered my ovary to my side" and was "attacking the inside of the ovary". The fact that the cyst never showed up on scans delayed the diagnosis for so long. Bindi adds that she wants to create more awareness around endometriosis because it's a "really scary disease" that "takes years" to diagnose "because most of the time, it really doesn't show up on scans". "It's something that needs to be discussed more and my heart breaks because there are countless people out there who are dealing with these symptoms and dealing with this disease that just goes completely undiagnosed for so long," she said. "After a dozen doctors tell you you're crazy, you start to believe them," she said. Bindi first went public with her health battle in 2023 after her surgery, when she told fans, "[The doctor's] first words to me when I was in recovery were, 'How did you live with this much pain?'" "Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus," according to the World Health Organisation. "It can cause severe pain in the pelvis and make it harder to get pregnant. "Endometriosis can start at a person's first menstrual period and last until menopause. With endometriosis, tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. This leads to inflammation and scar tissue forming in the pelvic region and (rarely) elsewhere in the body." The cause of endometriosis is unknown and unfortunately, there is no way to prevent it. There is also no cure and it can only be treated with medication or surgery.
