Beyonce Knowles: I was heading for a breakdown

Singer found it hard to cope with workload

Beyonce Knowles is feeling much more fulfilled now

Beyonce Knowles has revealed that stress once made her feel she was losing her sanity.

The singer hit the big time as a teenager with Destiny’s Child and struggled to deal with the hectic schedule.

The group was formed originally as a novelty pre-teen act in 1990 and had their first hit in 1996 - when Beyonce was 15 - with No, No, No.

‘Years ago, I was definitely heading for a breakdown,’ she tells US magazine Gotham. ‘Just way too much work - my life was my career and I had no other life.’

Beyonce, 27, who married rapper Jay-Z, 38, earlier this year, now has a successful solo career.
