Pink recalled nearly dying from an overdose in 1995 when she was 16 years old — after which she decided to quit taking drugs forever
Pink opened up about the near-fatal overdose she experienced as a teenager — and explained why she’s so willing to share the darkest parts of her past with her fans.
When she was 16, however, Pink — whose real name is Alecia Moore — had a wake-up call that made her realize she needed to make a change. “Thanksgiving of 1995, I was at a rave and I overdosed,” the pop starrecalled. “I was on — oh, boy — ecstasy, angel dust, crystal, all kinds of things.” Weeks after the overdose, she got her first record deal as part of the girl group Choice. The band was short-lived, but Pink soon went solo, releasing her first solo album, Can’t Take Me Home, in 2000. She’s now one of the biggest pop stars in the world. During her Summer Carnival tour this year, her shows broke attendance records at baseball stadiums including Boston’s Fenway Park, Detroit’s Comerica Park and Minneapolis’ Target Field.
She went on to note that she’s not afraid to share her personal life with fans because it helps her foster a deeper connection with her listeners.
