15. Eminem
Eminem burst onto the music scene in 1997 with his hit “The Real Slim Shady,” but that moment almost never happened. He was distraught after having his girlfriend at the time leave him and preventing him from seeing his daughter. He had dealt with abandonment by both of his parents through his life and this act seemed to push him over the edge. He took a large quantity of Tylenol in an attempt to overdose. Fortunately he wasn’t successful and he managed to bring his unique brand of art to the rest of the world.
