The "Cover Me in Sunshine" singer had begun writing her own songs at age 14, and she had a consistent singing gig at a club located in Philadelphia every Friday night.
Pink got involved in drugs at the early age of 15, after dropping out of school. She lost her best friend, who died at the age of 14 of a heroin overdose, and this incident inspired the "Who Knew" song in 2006.
