In an interview, the singer explained that she grew up under a lot of pressure in a broken home
A few days ago, Pink talked about her work and life on the show “60 Minutes,” on CBS. According to what he said, he nearly died of an overdose in 1995.
The incident occurred on Thanksgiving Day in late November of that year. He was only 16 years old. A few weeks later she was about to sign her first record deal. “I was a punk. Things were not going well at home. Basically, I grew up in a house where every day my parents yelled at each other, threw things. They hated each other… I got into drugs. I was selling drugs“, revealed the famous singer. All this, therefore, led her to drop out of school and to be kicked out of her home.

“I had escaped“, he admitted. However, one night everything got out of control. “I was at a rave party and I took a lot of different drugs.” When asked if she almost died at the party, she simply confirmed it. For the singer, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore, this was an absolute turning point in her life. That’s when a DJ suggested she sing at a hip-hop night. “Come tomorrow, I’ll have a surprise for you. But you can’t get back on drugs“, He said to her.

And that’s exactly what he did. Soon after, she began auditioning and this eventually led to her joining ‘Choice’, an R&B group, and signing her first contract with LaFace Records. And, from there, to worldwide acclaim and being one of the highest paid artists in the world.
Pink had already spoken about the same topic a decade ago: “I understand addiction. I was a party girl from 12 to 15″, he told Entertainment Weekly in the summer of 2012 when he explained that he was taking all the club drugs and selling ecstasy, crystal meth and Special K. “I overdosed in ’95 and never did drugs again». However, he had never spoken about the seriousness of the matter.

For the three-time Grammy Award-winning singer, sharing such experiences is important because it helps her millions of fans understand her and feel a strong connection with her. “I guess I look at it in a very specific way,” he said. “If I’m a mystery to you, how can I expect you to connect with me? And if I’m a person desperate for connection, then why should the mystery interest me? I want to meet you. I want you to meet me». The world knows her, her career, her lyrics and her life, half of which she has spent with ex-runner Carey Hart, whom she married in 2006 and with whom she has two children.
As she later explained in her interview, it was her way of carving out this career. “I never got a record deal for being cute. I got a record deal because I had a lot to say and a voice“, he underlined.
The singer already made a famous plea about the importance of growing up a few years ago when she responded to a troll who called her an “old lady” on Twitter. “Well, there are few people left in the world who choose to age naturally. And I have won every c…. minute since my 38 years“, He wrote. “I am of the opinion that it is a blessing to grow old. That if your face has lines around your eyes and mouth it means you’ve laughed a lot. I pray I look older in 10 years, because that will mean I’m alive».
