P!NK Opens Up About Overdose & Getting 'Kicked Out Of The House' As A Teen

P!NK is opening up about her past overdose and her journey with drugs. During a recent interview with 60 Minutes, the singer discussed her difficult childhood. "I had a chip on my shoulder," she said. "Basically, I grew up in a house where every day, my parents were screaming at each other, throwing things. They hated each other. And then I got into drugs. I was selling drugs. And then I was kicked out of the house. I dropped out of high school. I was off the rails."

The performer, whose real name is Alecia Moore, was able to step away from drugs after she overdosed during a Thanksgiving rave in 1995. "I was on ecstasy, angel dust, crystal, all kinds of things. And then I was out. Done. Too Much," she recalled. P!nk then shared that a DJ at the event helped her get it together after the near-death experience. "Come back tomorrow, I'll give you a guest spotlight. But you can never touch drugs again," she said the DJ promised her.

P!nk also discussed her open and honest approach to being in the spotlight. "I guess I look at it in a very specific way," she said. "If I'm a mystery to you, how can I expect you to connect with me? And if I'm a person that's desperate for connection, then why would mystery be interesting to me? I want to know you. I want you to know me."
