Fergie Biography

Stacy Ferguson has made her name as the sexy female addition to the band the Black Eyed Peas. The young star is now making waves as a solo artist and also breaking into the world of films.

Ferguson’s first work in the music business was singing in the female trio of Wild Orchid, along with fellow Kids Incorporated cast mate, Renee Sands. The third member of the group was Stefanie Ridel. They formed the group in 1991 when they were all in their mid-teens and together released two albums and finished a third, which their record company refused to release. This led to Fergie’s emotional breakdown, causing her to leave the group in 2004.

After Fergie left Wild Orchid she began to recreationally use ecstasy; this eventually led to an addiction to crystal methamphetamine. At her lowest, the 5’ 4” singer weighed just ninety pounds. In order to keep people from becoming suspicious of her addiction, she would tell friends that she was bulimic. When she finally kicked her addiction, she said that crystal meth was the hardest boyfriend she had ever had to break up with. She blames becoming addicted to drugs on the stress involved with being a child star.
