Pink grew up in Doylestown, Penn., and she spoke candidly about her difficult home life.

As a teenager, she had intense arguments with her mother, and one fight turned physical, with Pink‘s mom falling down the stairs. Pink calls it her one regret in life, but she has since reconciled with her mother.

“I had a chip on my shoulder. 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,” she admitted.

She eventually 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 said.

She recalled almost losing her life, with a friend pulling her up and encouraging her to get on the microphone. The DJ at the event said: “Come back tomorrow, I’ll give you a guest spotlight. But you can never touch drugs again.”

Pink kept her promise, and within weeks, she was auditioning for record deals.
