Justin Timberlake drug past: ‘I was tripping my mind out’

Justin Timberlake has come open about his past drug use.

According to The Sun, Timberlake was at the South by Southwest festival in Austin where the “Suit & Tie” singer admitted that he took “substances” in the past.

“I’ve been to Coachella many times, on many different, um, substances,” he said in an interview with Myspace. “I’ve been to Coachella many times but not remembered a lot of it, I’ll leave it at that.”

He continued, “Like, I stood in an open field and one year I saw Nine Inch Nails and the next year I saw Weezer and I was standing in the middle of the field, you know, like tripping my mind out.”

Timberlake has matured since taking “substances” at Coachella, but last week the singer loosened his suit and tie during an appearance on the UK’s “The Jonathan Ross” show where he and the host each downed five shots of tequila in a row.
