After his tragic passing, Grande made her \"Thank U, Next\" album, but she admitted to Vogue, \"I don’t remember those months of my life because I was (a) so drunk and (b) so sad.\"

\"I don’t really remember how it started or how it finished, or how all of a sudden there were 10 songs on the board,\" she revealed.

But, she noted, \"This is the first album...where I’m realizing that I can no longer put off spending time with myself.\"

\"I’ve been boo’d up my entire adult life. I’ve always had someone to say goodnight to,\" she added. \"So 'Thank U, Next' was this moment of self-realization...this scary moment of 'Wow, you have to face all this stuff now...You have to heal all this s---.'\"

The mag also posted a video of the singer performing her single \"In My Head\" online.
