When the pain became unbearable, she confessed that she «cancelled shows, I found myself lying, taking drugs. Maybe I’ll try an anti-inflammatory, an antispasmodic or something».
«I started with small things and ended up with very dangerous drugs, to continue,» she confessed in an interview conducted in May, in Las Vegas.
Subsequently, she was asked by journalist Ane-Claire Coudray if she had resorted to «valium» (editor’s note diazepam). «Yes, among other things».
«Without having a diagnosis. At first, it helped a little. But, very quickly, the doses had to increase,» added the singer.
«And when you reach a dangerous level of medication and it no longer works, you have two options: to continue or to stop breathing and it’s over.
Don’t live the pain alone. Accept to talk about it and to consult. Don’t suffer alone. I don’t know when, but I will return to the stage,» she also said.
