In-depth interviews were conducted with 70 male popular musicians to investigate the major sources of stress experienced by British professional popular musicians. The major sources identified were performance anxiety, public ignorance and low esteem, work overload or underload, career development worries, and relationships at work. The Eysenck Personality Questionnaire scores of the interview sample revealed high levels of Psychoticism and Neuroticism among popular musicians.
