Katy Perry is getting very candid in her new interview with Billboard magazine admitting, among other things, that she was at such a low point in her life when her marriage to Russell Brand fell apart that she literally considered ending her own life.

As any respectable artist would do, she put all that pain and agony in her music.

“That song is evidence of how tough it really was at a certain point,” she says of “By the Grace of God,” which is included on her “Prism” album.

“I asked myself, ‘Do I want to endure? Should I continue living?’” Katy recalls.

“I can only write autobiographically. I put all the evidence in the music. I tell my fans if they want to know the real truth about stuff, just listen to the songs,” she says.

“Prism” will be out on October 22. When it hits store shelves, fans will probably get to find out the truth about her romance with current beau John Meyer, whom she describes in the same interview as a genius whose mind she plans to donate to science once he’s gone so the rest of humanity can benefit from it.
