Pink reportedly used heroin when she was younger. The 26-year-old singer stays clear of drugs now, but told Britain's Sun tabloid that she experimented with heroin as a child and lost three friends to overdoses. Pink said, "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 into it to need treatment." She added, "But if you're talking about drugs -- you name it, I took it." Pink said she stopped using heroin on Thanksgiving Day 1995 and never touched it again, saying, "For me drugs were just a distraction on the way to my ultimate goal, which is what I'm doing today."

Pink, who grew up as Alecia Moore in Pennsylvania, said she became hooked on drugs at 13.

Pink will release her fourth studio album, I'm Not Dead, on April 4. The set, which features the single "Stupid Girls," follows 2003's Try This.
