Pussy Riot member Yekaterina Samutsevich spoke to 60 Minutes, wearing the infamous colored ski masks the band wore during their 2012 "Punk Prayer" that landed them in jail, and continued the bands fight against the Russian government and leader, Vladmir Putin. She said, "We want the government to leave power, because we consider it illegitimate. But we're advocating for a peaceful overthrow. The elections weren't legitimate. There was vote rigging. There was false counting. It was clear that the president put himself in power. Putin has brought in a new level of repressive government measures in Russia."
During an interview with German newspaper BILD, Depeche Mode singer Dave Gahan spoke about his 1996 overdose that nearly killed him. The singer, who rarely speaks about the incident opened up and said, ""The first thing I realised in the hospital was that I exited my body. I was floating underneath the ceiling and could observe exactly what was happening underneath me: Paramedics were running around my body and tried to save me. I screamed that I wasn’t actually lying down there but above them. I believe it was my soul screaming which had already left my body and became a witness of what happened to my body. At that point I was clinically dead, my heart wasn't beating. These seconds seemed like hours to me. And suddenly, there was a complete, frightening darkness around me. As if someone had turned off the light. When he finally came around, the star woke up in handcuffs for being in possession of drugs. "When I woke up, I was tied to the bed with handcuffs. Policemen were standing in front of me and read my rights to me. I was arrested because of possession of cocaine and heroin."
