~NATALIE COLE~

In a new soon-to-be published book, singer Natalie Cole is quite frank as she discusses her past drug abuse. In the autobiography, "Angel on my Shoulder", Natalie tells of her dependency on drugs and the desperate measures she took to get them. Natalie sold her own body to acquire drugs in 1973 when her career took a dive and she couldn't keep a job. She has also battled financial ruin, an abusive marriage, and a legal battle against her own mother to recover inheritance money left to her by her late father, Nat King Cole. - [Posted August 21, 2000 by Trashy Tabloids ].
