Belinda's music was pretty good back in her time but I couldn't believe what I had read and no idea that had happened back then.
"In 2005, at the height of her drug abuse, Carlisle spent three days isolated in a London hotel room binging cocaine.[67] At one point, she recalled that she looked at herself in the mirror and was alarmed that she "didn't see a light or a soul" in her eyes.[68] "I sat in my room and did [cocaine] all evening. Between lines [of cocaine], I smoked cigarettes, played games on my laptop, and paced the room. I must have smoked ten packs of cigarettes in two days."[67] On the third day, Carlisle said she had a vision of herself being found dead in a hotel, accompanied by an auditory hallucination in which a loud voice informed her: "You are going to die here if you carry on like this."[69] The incident jarred Carlisle into seeking sobriety, and she says she has been sober since 2005."
Jeez.
Never knew any of that.
