BELINDA CARLISLE - ‘I'M SURPRISED I'M NOT DEAD!'

AFTER OVERCOMING SERIOUS ADDICTION, THE SINGER IS NOW LIVING HER BEST LIFE

- Paul Ewart

Since bursting onto the global music scene in 1978 as the frontwoman of trailblazing girl group, The Go-Go’s, Belinda Carlisle has become a bona fide chart-topper.

But amid the crazy highs and adoration, Belinda was battling a severe addiction to booze and cocaine that would span almost 30 years.

“I can’t believe I’m not dead,” the 62-year-old tells New Idea exclusively. “I had a vision of myself being found dead in that hotel room of a cocaine overdose. I just knew I couldn’t continue the life that I was living.”
