The singer-songwriter, known for his high-energy performances and fearless lyrics, credited&nbsp;<strong>David Mitchell<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 yes, the Peep Show star \u2014 with helping him navigate one of the darkest periods of his life: the COVID-19 lockdowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/JaDu9HZQdyw\/hq720.jpg?sqp=-oaymwEhCK4FEIIDSFryq4qpAxMIARUAAAAAGAElAADIQj0AgKJD&amp;rs=AOn4CLC8fmD3WgtI-MksJwVnNBOxf5uGbw\" alt=\"David Mitchell: The PROBLEM with posh restaurants | The Graham Norton Show - BBC - YouTube\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Yungblud explained that during the isolation of lockdown, he struggled with mental health and the weight of uncertainty. In an unexpected source of comfort, he turned to the dry, witty humor of David Mitchell on&nbsp;<em>Peep Show<\/em>. \u201cWatching David Mitchell was honestly a lifeline,\u201d Yungblud admitted. \u201cThe sarcasm, the absurdity, the way he just nails every moment\u2026 it saved me in ways I can\u2019t even explain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GettyImages-1418051222.jpg?w=1600&amp;h=900&amp;crop=1\" alt=\"Yungblud Struts His Stuff in Music Video for 'Tissues'\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The segment quickly became both heartfelt and hilarious, as Graham Norton and the audience laughed along with Yungblud recounting his obsession with rewatching episodes of&nbsp;<em>Peep Show<\/em>, analyzing every line and joke. \u201cIt sounds ridiculous, but honestly, those episodes gave me structure, distraction, and perspective,\u201d he said. \u201cDavid Mitchell doesn\u2019t know it, but he helped me keep going.\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/FbbOlwMXkAI8InJ?format=jpg&amp;name=large\" alt=\"YUNGBLUD - \u201cTissues\u201d (Official Video) - SOUND IN THE SIGNALS\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Fans of both Yungblud and David Mitchell were quick to respond on social media, praising the singer for his honesty and sharing similar experiences of finding solace in unexpected sources during the pandemic.
