Pink has apparently admitted to The Sun that she began using drugs when she was just thirteen years old, following her parents' divorce. She says: "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. 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."
Commenting on Pete Doherty and his drug problem, she added: "It sounds like it's his way to be rock and roll. That's sad. 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."
