Travis star Fran Healy has revealed that the group's fourth album 12Memories was inspired by his depression and therapy sessions.

The singer went to hypnotherapy appointments which helped to cure the illness before he recorded the 2003 album.

"I wasn't really comfortable talking about this at the time it came out, but 12Memories was about going into therapy and the record was the therapy sessions," Fran told the Daily Record.

"I was feeling really, really bad and didn't want to take drugs to get myself out of it. So I had three months of hypnotherapy instead, where you went back and fixed your memories. So that's where the album title came from, and each song on it was a memory I wanted to address."
