<p>Katie Melua has revealed that she suffered a breakdown following her rise to fame.</p>
<p>The 26-year-old singer, who shot to stardom with her debut single The Closest Thing To Crazy, said she had a brief stay in hospital last year.</p>
<p>She told the Daily Mail the breakdown was brought on by her heavy workload, saying: &#8220;I&#8217;ve had a bit of a breakdown and been very unwell&#8230; I had to drop out for a bit.&#8221;</p>
<p>She said: &#8220;The fact is, I just couldn&#8217;t go on any longer. I knew there was something seriously wrong because I was just sitting in a chair staring into space.&#8221;</p>
<p>Katie, who was the biggest-selling British female artist, added: &#8220;I was working myself into the ground.&#8221;</p>
<p>The singer-songwriter&#8217;s spokeswoman confirmed she had suffered a breakdown but said she has since recovered.</p>
<p>She said: &#8220;She&#8217;s looking forward to going back on tour which was meant to take place last year but was postponed.</p>
<p>&#8220;She was working non-stop for about seven years and her body just said &#8216;enough is enough&#8217;.&#8221;</p>
<p>Georgian-born Katie found fame after being discovered by songwriter Mike Batt in 2002.</p>
<p>She went on to perform for Nelson Mandela and in 2005 she dined at Buckingham Palace.</p>
