Black Eyed Peas member Fergie confessed to Cosmopolitan magazine that she was a drug addict. Fergie said she started to take Ecstasy when she was 20 years old and, after a while, she passed on to harder narcotics.

She confessed: "I stopped meeting the girls, broke up with a boyfriend and started going out and taking Ecstasy I was hanging around in a different crowd From there, I got into harder drugs and a really bad place emotionally".

"It was my way of getting away from everything I was totally wrapped up in it and I was going crazy".

The beautiful singer declared that his addictions left her an emotional and physical wreck. Fergie had to face financial ruin, as well.

She explained in the interview for Britain's Cosmopolitan magazine: "My life was falling apart I owed a lot of money and was going out of my mind imagining things I went into a downward spiral and hit rock bottom" .

Fergie thanked her parents for being there for her and helping her to overcome this problems. "If it wasn't for them I would be on the street or in a mental institution".
