  • The past few years have been highly productive for American singer Beth Hart. With Fire On The Floor she's releasing her second album in as many years, and on top of that, she has (another) album on the way with blues guitarist Joe Bonamassa. Hart has never hid her struggles with substance and alcohol abuse, and says part of what drives her creativity is a sense of gratitude for overcoming her demons. But when Amy Winehouse passed away in 2011 the singer couldn't help but feel a sense of survivors guilt. “What I saw her go through and what I saw my sister go through was very similar, and it happened to me but somehow I survived. You're so grateful to god that you did but another part of you feels so confused and almost ashamed that you survived and someone else didn't.”

    Best Singer alive. Only artist who went to the deepest dungeons of hell can bring a song so right into your soul. Unfortunately but true.

    Thank you for sharing your story. My son died in 2014 from his addiction. I will never know the man I hoped he would become. Your family and friends are so lucky to be able to see the woman you are today. The world is a better place because you are still here. Thank you!

    Talk about the emotional, heartfelt interview.....this frank, honest conversation about addiction, mental illness, & eating disorders, resonates with anyone who has lost someone from these diseases. I almost lost my stepdaughter a year ago when she went into cardiac arrest twice from anorexia at 66 lbs. And I've lost several dear friends in the music industry throughout the years from addiction & mental illness.
    Beth has long been my favorite female vocalist. I'm so grateful she's clean & producing/ performing music that's better than ever. Also thankful she's been open enough to let others know how critical it is to get the necessary help. ❤

    So good to hear someone who has survived addiction (but it IS a lifelong process) talk openly about addiction. It is so misunderstood and addicts are so judged, it is a complex issue and it is over taking this country. Unless we stop putting BAND AIDE on the symptoms and focus on the problem and the core issues...we are going to continue to go downhill as a country, a a people, as a neighborhood, as a town, as a family.

    You are a beautiful person. I truly feel what you’re saying.
    I write this because I damn well choose to live.
    All I can do is cry because I know how much I’ve been fucking with my life like it’s a game. I had to face the very real fact I could have died; to the point that last week saw me ending up calling an ambulance because I was so intoxicated, I’d already broken one wrist, plus I’d taken a load of pain meds which interacted with the barbiturates I’ve been on.
    Funnily, they would have released me that night to go home with a detox prescription, as I convinced them, with my pride that I’d cope with a detox prescription; but as I tried to walk home, I fell heavily upon/broke the other arm in the car park, because I was so completely off my head.
    Luckily some guy carried me to hospital entrance. I’d have been lost if this had been the UK/NHS.
    They had to operate on both wrists and because of the horrific pain, I have not even any memory of my first two days in hospital. But until I left, I basically could not even shower without a nurse doing it for me. Maybe I’m proud, but I remembering feeling so damn ashamed.
    They had to use scissors to cut me out of my dress, to avoid risk of further injury.
    I know I am very lucky to have good health care in my country, but of course I feel so ashamed and damn stupid. I try not to beat myself up over the past, just gotta keep moving forward, and believe that I deserve better than how I treat myself. It’s so damn hard, but with passion and will, anything is possible. Being used to being independent, I convinced them to allow me home tonight, but I’m all bandaged up and need voice recognition to type at the moment.
    But people like you truly inspire me. God bless xxxx❤️

    I found beth a year ago and have been hooked ever since. I've seen all the videos and interviews. In her recent vids beth talks about getting off seriquel. I'm very curious about that bc I'm about to taper off seriquel again. Last time I had a manic accident...I don't know anyone else who goes thru this difficult shit man it just sucks...starting latuda . This is going to be good or bad!!!
