Gaining the likes of mega star Justin Bieber is no easy feat after posting her vocal ability online. Shortly after establishing herself with a music label and making a name for herself, she's struggled within multiple areas of her life such as growing up under the watchful eye of the world, familial issues, personal traumas, and more. Despite the assumption of many thinking that she has it all, things haven't always been easy.
Only recently has Madison come out the other side with stories she's finally ready to tell. After years in the making, 'The Half Of It', a memoir self-written by Beer herself was announced in early 2023 and fans were at the ready to support her in this vulnerable journey. This raw & honest release details some of the most heartbreaking moment of her life including mental health, private and personal events, as well as navigating recovery.
She's openly discussed her book on multiple platforms including Alex Cooper's podcast, The Drew Barrymore Show, and more to detail her experiences. She went on to describe the isolating feelings within Hollywood and pressure to face the world with a smile regardless of her true feelings. Madison even delves into personal matters including suicide and the aftermath conversations she had to cope with it. The vulnerability she displays is beyond commendable and her ability to be open with the platform she has is doing wonders for the mental health community.

Those with more negative comments to say about her story center around the inability to believe that those with success, money, fame, and a life deemed perfect cannot struggle. Others were quick to wonder what her story as a young 24 year old could offer to the world. This misinterpretation of celebrities causes more of a divide and Beer's true fans were by her side almost immediately. Madison defended herself further by letting us into the harsh reality that she was forced to grow up sooner than others as her career began at such young and formative years. Her story allows thousands of individuals who can relate to her story to feel seen & heard. Despite the negative comments from swirling around the release of the book, she's admirably able to let the comments roll off of her as she's done for over a decade.
The tens of thousands of positive comments and accolades she has been receiving for letting us into her life has been heartwarming not only for Madison but for others who can relate to the detailed experiences. On the multiple platforms she's promoted the book, Madison has also been teasing an upcoming album and tour. Her teaser single 'Home To Another One' released on June 2, 2023 with a soon to be announced tour in the coming months.
The success of her last tour for her album 'Life Support' came at a cost as Madison described the toll it had on her physical & mental health. On the 'Pretty Basic' podcast, she explained the difficulties further in performing back to back shows with limited time off. Her love of touring hasn't faltered, however, Beer recognizes the importance of self-care especially with the desire to show up for her fans as her authentic self. The emphasis on her soon to be tour for her unreleased album will focus on wellbeing through much needed breaks, basic wellness, and mindfulness.

Madison credits therapy as one of the most beneficial ways she's been able to come to terms with her experiences. Music has also been a place where she find solitude. From the writing process to performing, she's found comfort in translating her story into something for her fans to enjoy & connect with. Whether it's breakup hits to somber and personable releases, she's able to be a part of all of our journeys. These forms of inner work that she continues to surround herself with shows immense strength and her continuity with it will only take her further into recovery.
As Beer widens the door in creating a world where mental and emotional health struggles are normalized, those who suffer will finally feel acknowledged and no longer alone.
