Cat Power Admits She 'Wanted To Die'

Singer Cat Power has confessed she ditched tour dates in July because she had become suicidal as a result of her spiralling alcoholism. Power - real name Chan Marshall - released a statement at the time claiming the cancellations of her American and British dates were as a result of "health reasons."

She says, "I was looking at death. I wanted to die... I asked God, I said, 'I'm tired, I can't do this.' I was asking him to just take me."
The quirky star admits she became exhausted and unhappy after relentless touring in 1998, which led to her crippling drink problem. But after receiving psychiatric treatment for her depression, she is finally sober and looking ahead.
She recalls, "Even playing all my shows I was always intoxicated, always kind of not there, which led to the depression. It was more about the uncomfortableness with just being in my own skin, and that's why the alcohol was always with me."

EVANGELISTA IN DIAMOND CONTROVERSY

21/9/06 12:55:07

Supermodel LINDA EVANGELISTA is under fire from activists after appearing in adverts for controversial diamond company De Beers. British film stars....Read On

Linda got into trouble, although I haven't heard much stink yet about Chan's involvment with the reprehensible De Beers company.

what's all the controversy about?

Chan Marshall sings a Cat Stevens cover 'How Can I Tell You' in the
A Diamond is Forever 2006 De Beers TV commercial "Xmas Morning"

she's up & gone off the deep end for real...

De Beer's soiled name is nowhere to be found in the ad, by the way, but it is their commerical.

you see the cingular one too! wow Chans an advertising whore.

Before that it was TIAA Cref Financial Services...but I have no problem really with either that one or the Cingular one. However, doing a commerical for De Beers is like doing one for some energy (oil) corporation or some shit.

It's not excusable really.

it's a shame, i love her music, but i don't like her very much.

The diamond industry isn't my cup of tea either.
I don't get that about her...
