Jason Donovan has been writing about him overdosing at Kate Moss' 21st birthday party back in 1995 at LA's Viper Club. He's written about the experience in his new autobiography 'Between The Lines: My Life Uncut', a bit of which has been published in the Daily Mirror.
Recalling the famous Viper Club incident, he writes: "The Viper Room had always had a wild reputation but after Johnny [Depp]'s friend River Phoenix had collapsed and died outside the club a year earlier, having overdosed on a heroin and cocaine speedball, I didn't think it was wise to advertise the fact that I had drugs on me. With my hotel just a stone's throw from the club, my plan was to leave my drugs in my room and return there as and when I needed them. It seemed like a good plan, but as the night went on I found myself running back and forth like a crazed dog, desperate not to miss the party yet hungry for my next fix".
He continues: "By midnight the entire party had hit the dancefloor. Johnny and Michael [Hutchence] took to the stage ... the pair were halfway through the song ... when I realised I was about to go. I knew the symptoms all too well, for it was not the first time this had happened to me. My heart was racing, my vision was blurring and I was becoming disorientated. I tried to steady myself but my legs buckled under me and I fell to the floor. I am not sure what happened next but I do know that someone had pulled the plug on the music and was calling for an ambulance. A crowd had circled round me and Michael was standing over me trying to empty my trouser pockets. 'Have you got anything on you?' he kept asking me. I tried to speak but couldn't. 'It wouldn't be cool if anything was found on you by the medics' he whispered".
He concludes: "I must have blacked out again after that - the next memory I have is of being carried out of the club by paramedics on a stretcher".
