According to Billboard, Sia has been struggling with her addiction.

“For one reason or another it never happened for me. Then I got seriously addicted to Vicodin and Oxycodone, and I was always a drinker but I didn’t know I was an alcoholic. I was really unhappy being an artist and I was getting sicker and sicker,” she told Billboard in a 2013 cover story for the outlet, opening up about she needed to regroup.
