How a sad Sarah McLachlan song saved a member of Run-DMC from committing suicide

In the book, McDaniels details how McLachlan's song helped him stave off a deep depression during a difficult period of his life in the late 1990s. "I was probably at my suicidal worst in 1997 during a two-week-long tour in Japan. The only song I listened to then was a soft-pop ballad by Sarah McLachlan called 'Angel,'" McDaniels writes in an excerpt of his memoir published by People.
