Speaking to the Associated Press, the singer described the lasting effects her overdose has had on her physical health. “I was left with brain damage, and I still have to deal with the effects of it today,” she said.

“I don’t drive because I have blind spots in my vision. For a long time I had a hard time reading. It was a big problem when I could read a book, which was about two months later, because my vision was so blurry.”
