Iconic singer Elton John revealed his near death experience when he used to take cocaine.In an interview with Piers Morgan’s show Piers Morgan's Life Stories, the singer admitted that he would have a seizure after using the drug and when he came around he would then snort some more.
"I never considered myself a drug addict. I thought drug addicts were people who stuck needles in their arms - and I was the biggest junkie there was. I came very close to dying. I'd have an epileptic seizure and turn blue and people would find me on the floor and put me to bed, and then 40 minutes later I'd be snorting another line."
"It was fun in the early days because I thought, being shy, that cocaine, because it made me talk, was the key - 'I can talk now, I can be one of the gang, I can fit in.' I lost all my friends and the people that loved me didn't want to know me. My mother left the country. "And, you know, you find yourself in the most degrading situations. Your personal habits, you don't wash, you lose all sense of pride, all sense of esteem and you can't seem to stop."
