13. Eminem

Eminem was very close to becoming another one of the music industry’s great tragedies, after a drug overdose left the star extremely close to death. After being rushed to the hospital, doctors were fortunately able to save the rapper’s life. Eminem, was informed that he had a huge amount of methadone in his system, the equivalent to shooting up four bags of heroin, to be precise. The star later revealed: “Even when they told me I almost died it didn’t click” In fact, the star would have most certainly died, had he not reached the hospital when he did as his organs were already beginning to shut down. All things considered, the rapper was not able to get himself completely clean after the incident, but later reflecting on the time, revealed that he was an addict and didn’t realize the severity of his ways. Eminem released Relapse in 2009 and revealed it was the first thing he recorded sober in 7 years. Thankfully, the star has been sober and healthy for a number of years now.
