British pop singer Chesney Hawkes first shot to fame in 1991 when he was just 19 years old, with his debut single “The One and Only” turning him into a global teenage heartthrob.

In this candid and frequently emotional conversation with Roisin, Chesney opens up for the first time about a childhood trauma that inspired a song on his new album, Living Arrows, and reflects on his early experiences in the spotlight.
