Pink has revealed that she took heroin as a teen, and has warned others of its deadly dangers.
The feisty pop-rock star says she started using the drug when she was just 13-years-old after her parents divorced.
"Heroin is a horrible thing. I've seen first hand what it can do to people and it's not pretty. I was never that much in to it to need treatment,” the “Stupid Girls” singer has confessed.
"But if you're talking about drugs - you name it, I took it. I buried three friends from heroin overdoses. But, you know, onwards and upwards," she added.
Pink says she stopped taking the drug when she was 16 to focus on her music career.
"For me drugs were just a distraction on the way to my ultimate goal, which is what I'm doing today. I found my chance and I wanted to go for it and knew I was going to have to work for it."
She’s also dissed famous drug user and rock star Pete Doherty, the on-off boyfriend of supermodel Kate Moss, saying:
"It sounds like it's his way to be rock and roll. That's sad,”
But Pink says she does “understand” why he dabbles with drugs:
"In my experience people are searching for something else. In relationships, in drugs, with everything. Sometimes when your life is full of pain, drugs give you an escape - then you end up dead or sick.
"It's not a good place to be but I do understand it. I hope he finds what he is looking for."
