Andreas “Tix” Haukeland (29) has achieved tremendous success as an artist, but it hasn’t just been easy. He received a lot of attention when he made a guest appearance on NRK’s ”Lindmo” in January 2021, and spoke of heavy loneliness.
He said, among other things, that he has sometimes felt so overwhelming that he has wondered if life is worth living. Because the bigger “Tix” got, the more Andreas withered, the 29-year-old said at the time.

Now, almost two years later, he admits the artist in a new episode of the podcast “Robbery with tone” that he shouldn’t have been on TV at that time in his life.
Caught in the situation
In “Lindmo,” she said that the superstar life can go beyond the private life and make you feel very lonely.
However, “Tix” has received a lot of positive feedback after openly sharing suicidal thoughts and mental health on TV.
In the podcast, host Tone Damli, among others, praises him for his opening, but he himself has mixed feelings about the performance.
– I myself did not understand what happened, and I was in a period when I should not have been able to speak on TV. I was in the middle at the time, and didn’t have it in the distance, he says on the podcast and adds:
– You are so caught up in the situation that you do not even fully understand the consequences of what you are talking about. I didn’t realize it either until an hour before “Lindmo” aired on TV.
Furthermore, he says he then felt compelled to make a phone call to his parents to prepare them for what he said. He shared a lot about his childhood that he thought might be painful to listen to.
Nettavisen has not yet come into contact with Andreas Haukeland in connection with the case.
I play a victim role
After honestly sharing the plight of much of Norway, Haukeland, he says, received a kind of stamp as a victim. This is something he describes as the worst part.
– People asked me questions and I just answered them. They started digging and asking questions about my childhood, and then I felt that things often got dragged out a bit by the propositions.
The artist does not hide that it was a hectic period of his life.

A short time later, the artist also opened up when he was a guest on the TV show 2 ‘Hver gang vi møtes’ where he spoke candidly about growing up, mental disorders and what life has been like in recent years.
Like the “Lindmo” interview, “Tix” received a lot of attention and a lot of positive publicity after the performance of “Hver gang vi møstes”.
Haukeland previously told Nettavisen that he has spent much of 2021 in various television appearances spreading a message about mental health and that he wants to be a role model for young people.
