Singer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pink">Pink</a> recalled when she &#8220;almost died&#8221; during an experience with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/drugs">drugs</a> as a teenager.
The 44-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">singer</a>, whose real name is Alecia Moore Hart, described the incident during an interview with Cecilia Vega for “60 Minutes.” 
&#8220;Thanksgiving of 1995, I was at a rave and I overdosed,&#8221; Pink revealed during the interview. &#8220;I was on, oh boy, ecstasy, angel dust, crystal, all kinds of things. Then I was out. Done. Too much.&#8221;
When Vega asked if she &#8220;almost died,&#8221; the singer answered, &#8220;Yeah.&#8221;
Pink continued, &#8220;And I remember my friend was standing over me, smacking me across the face. And he was like, &#8216;Get up. You wanna sing, right?&#8217; And I was like, &#8216;Yeah.&#8217; He&#8217;s like, &#8216;Get on the microphone.&#8217; So I got up and I sang. And the DJ there took me aside and said, &#8216;Come back tomorrow, I&#8217;ll give you a guest spotlight. But you can never touch drugs again.&#8217; And I never did, haven&#8217;t since.&#8221;
Pink described that experience as a pivotal turning point in her life. The Grammy Award winner signed her first record deal shortly after when she was 16 as a part of the R&amp;B girl group Choice. The band broke up in 1998 and Pink launched a successful solo career in 2000.
&#8220;I was a punk. I had a mouth. I had a chip on my shoulder,&#8221; she told Vega of her childhood. &#8220;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 &#8230; I dropped out of high school. I was off the rails.&#8221;
Pink grew up in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, with an ER nurse mom and insurance salesman father. Her parents divorced before she was 10.

The singer also said she’s gotten far in her career by being tough. &#8220;I realize that the machete that I&#8217;ve always carried, this metaphorical machete that I&#8217;ve always carried that made me a really difficult kid, is what makes me really good at what I do today,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And it makes me a survivor.&#8221;
Pink added, &#8220;I never got a record deal because I was cute; I got a record deal because I was fiery, I had a lot to say, and I had a voice. So I&#8217;m relieved I don&#8217;t have to fall back on&#8230; sort of conventional beauty. And that doesn&#8217;t have to be my thing. And I don&#8217;t have to keep that up, either, as I age. I don&#8217;t have to be that. I can be all of this.&#8221;
