Britney Spears is buying a £15,000 oxygen chamber to protect her voice.
The ‘Womanizer’ singer – who reportedly lip synchs to her songs during
performances on her current world tour – is set to splash out the sum
because she is terrified of “bad air” ruining her career.
The move comes after Britney stormed off stage in Vancouver, Canada, because
the arena was too smoky last month.
A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “Since her Vancouver show, where
she ran off stage as it was too smoky, she’s become paranoid about breathing
in too much bad air.
“She’s keen on an oxygen chamber that will reverse any smoke inhalation
damage.”
Fans at the 27-year-old’s Canadian cEminem almost died of a methadone overdose.
The ‘We Made You’ rapper relapsed in 2005 following an unsuccessful stint in
rehab for an addiction to sleeping medication when a friend gave him a
handful of unidentified blue tablets.
He said: "My doctor told me those mysterious new pills were methadone, which
is used to wean heroin addicts off dope. Had I known it was methadone, I
probably wouldn't have taken it. But as bad as I was back then, I can't even
say 100 per cent for sure.
“My doctor told me the amount of methadone I'd taken was equivalent to
shooting up four bags of heroin. Even when they told me I almost died, it
didn't click."
The 36-year-old hip-hop star admits his substance abuse addiction had
spiralled out of control by then.
He added to Vibe magazine: "It's no secret I had a drug problem. If I was to
give you a number of Vicodin I would actually take in a day? Anywhere
between 10 to 20. Valium, Ambien, the numbers got so high I don't even know
what I was taking.
"I started looking around my house to see if I had a stash box of Vicodin.
I'm ransacking my house, finally find something in the basement, in a little
napkin, seven and a half Vicodin - the big extra strength ones - and a few
Valium."
Following a three-year-break from recording material, Eminem is thrilled to
be back with his new LP ‘Relapse’ and insists he is only addicted to work
these days.
He said: "I almost feel like a little kid again with rap. I want to play
around with different flows. If I don’t feel like it's what I'm fully
capable of, if there's one weak line, I want to change it. Rap was my drug.
It used to get me high and then it stopped getting me high. Then I had to
resort to other things to make me feel that... now rap's getting me high
again."
‘Relapse’ is due for release in the US on May 19.
