Duffy is on the brink of a "nervous breakdown".The 'Mercy' singer has revealed the pressures of fame have taken their toll, forcing her to consider "disappearing".The 24-year-old Welsh songstress has had too many encounters with over zealous fans which have left her shaken. She said: "As a girl, I though I was superhuman. But I'm bordering on a nervous breakdown."The scary thing is this feels like just the beginning. It would be easy to become a recluse. I have sold my soul and I'm no longer anonymous."It can be really frightening when there are 15 lads on one side of the pub and a gang of girls on the other who all want your photo."I walked into a restaurant in Italy and there were 30 lads in there chanting at me. I'm never calm anymore."
