LOGIC’S MTV VMA PERFORMANCE SPIKES CALLS TO SUICIDE PREVENTION CENTER
Logic released his hit song “1-800-273-8255” in April as a way to help save lives, and it’s clear that the message is getting through. Following his performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline says it saw a 50 percent increase in calls.
John Draper, director of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, praised the song, saying it’s not only about the phone calls but about increasing awareness. “The calls don’t even begin to count the number of people who, just by listening to the song and hearing the lyrics, feel more hopeful and less alone. There’s really no measuring that impact,” he told CNN.
