Legendary producer Timberland has opened up about his struggles with addiction, revealing he nearly suffered a near-death overdose. Speaking to Rolling Stone, the artist born Timothy Mosey revealed that he began taking OxyContin in his 30s to help with nerve issues stemming from a gunshot wound suffered as a teenager. As his usage became rampant, his chart success declined, and marriage collapsed, leading him to struggle with a cycle of depression and addiction. Timberland said he survived a near-death overdose while sleeping three years ago, recalling that "there was a light...I woke up trying to catch my breath, like I was underwater. But through that whole thing I saw life – I saw where I would be if I don't change, and where I could be if I did." After weaning himself off the medication and experiencing withdrawal, he "thought about Michael Jackson... I didn't want to be old and taking these pills."
