When Clarkson hit rock bottom
October 16th, 2011 - 10:44 am ICT by IANSLondon, Oct 16 (IANS) Kelly Clarkson says she hit rock bottom four years after finding fame because she had been working relentlessly.
The singer shot to fame after winning “American Idol” in 2002 and while she initially coped well with success, she was forced to take a break when she became too ill to function, reports contactmusic.com.
“Because my career went from zero to 100, there was no growing. I learnt well under pressure but, like, four years passed by and I hit rock bottom,” she said.
“It was four years of non-stop. Everyone was making a lot of money, so everyone was pushing the train. That’s when it finally caught up with me. I came down with ‘walking pneumonia’ for the second time in a year. My body was physically giving up. I took six months odd (sic) and went home,” she added.
