He recalls the night and how his family saved him in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine: “I had the knife and made it to the bedroom with a trail of blood behind me.

They saved my life”. 2. Britney Spears Britney Spears shot to fame at just 16-years-old with her hit debut single Baby One More Time .

Should I continue living?” The divorce was painful for Perry, who believed she had met the love of her life and that Brand would be the one she grew old with. In her song “By The Grace of God”, she talks about her battle with depression and how her sister saved her from ending it all. The lyrics read: “Lay on the bathroom floor. Couldn’t take it anymore.
