Locky from Rudimental on loss, silence, and why he backs Say It Lad

He has shared something raw. He lost a friend. A lad who felt he had no way out. A lad who stayed silent until it was too late.

This is happening too often. Men hit breaking point, say nothing, then vanish from the world they mattered to. Locky has felt that hit first hand. He knows how hard it is to talk. He also knows what silence does.

He reached out to us because he wanted to back Say It Lad with honesty, not polish. He wanted to speak in his own voice.

Why he backs Say It Lad

Say It Lad gives men a private route to speak. No forms. No sign ups. No judgement. You tap, you talk, you listen. Anonymous voice notes. Peer support. Lad to lad.

Some messages come from lads who are sinking. Some are from lads who have found a bit of ground again. Some are from lads who are holding on for the night. You hear people in your world. Same age. Same pressures. Same thoughts you never say out loud. It feels normal. It feels human. It takes the edge off the fear of talking.

Locky said he underestimated the power of talking. He thought he needed a big moment or a perfect conversation. He now knows a simple voice note can shift the balance. It can stop the spiral. It can keep someone here.

 

What he wants men to hear

Talking is not weak. Talking is survival. You do not need a spotlight. You do not need to break down on camera.
You only need a few seconds and a voice. 
Locky knows the struggle. He has lived it. He has seen the cost of silence. He refuses to let more lads slip through the cracks.

 

His message to the lads

Your head might be loud. Your life might feel hectic. You might think no one will get it. Someone will get it. Someone already does. He sent a message last night. It might be the message you hear when you hit play.

You do not need to wait for a crisis. You do not need to pretend you are fine. You speak when you are ready. Someone listens. That is the point.

 

Locky stands with us

Locky from Rudimental backs Say It Lad because he wants lads to talk before they break. He wants lads to feel heard. He wants fewer grieving mates and fewer empty seats. If you need it, use it. If you know someone who needs it, send it. If you want to support it, share it.

Your voice can save someone. His voice can save you.

Say It Lad. Talk. Listen. Stay here.
