Singer Pink reveals overdose scare as a teenager

Singer "Pink" is opening up about an incident with drugs as a teenager before she became famous.

The Doylestown native told "60-Minutes" that while at a rave in 1995, she took ecstasy, PCP and methamphetamine. She said the combination almost killed her and that it was the last time she ever took hard drugs.

Just a few weeks later, she scored a record deal with an all-girl R&B group she was in before launching her solo career.
