Pink's weed confession

Pink once smoked "a thousand bags of weed" before performing live - and almost keeled over on stage.

The pop babe went on a drug binge the first time she visited Amsterdam - where cannabis is legal - and didn't come out of her drug-induced daze for several hours.

Pink was so wasted when she recorded some tracks for a TV show, producers told her it was "awful" and asked her to do the whole performance again.

The 26-year-old star - real name Alecia Moore - revealed: "Holy s**t! I was 19, I went straight from the airport to the Bulldog Café, bought a thousand bags of weed and smoked them all by myself and then went on stage.

"It was a TV show and I was borderline collapsing on camera. The producer came on stage and said, 'Would you like to do that again, because that's the most awful performance I've ever seen in my entire career'. I looked at her and said, 'Do what?' It was halfway through dinner after the show when I came out of my coma."

The singer added to Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper: "At the time it wasn't funny at all."
