Pop golden boy Justin Timberlake has confessed to taking drugs and 'tripping his mind out' while watching Weezer and Nine Inch Nails at Coachella Festival.

The singer, who has enjoyed one of the most successful comebacks of 2013 so far, topping charts with his single 'Mirrors' and album The 20/20 Experience, has confessed in a new interview with MySpace (in which he is a co-owner) that he would take drugs at festivals before the days there was press and photographers to document the stars' activities.

"I’ve been to Coachella many times, on many different, um, substances," he tells the music website. "I’ve been to Coachella many times but not remembered a lot of it, I’ll leave it at that. But I remember I used to go to Coachella a long time ago.

"I remember Coachella when there wasn’t, like, paparazzi and stuff there. Like, I stood in an open field and one year I saw Nine Inch Nails and the next year I saw Weezer, and I was standing in the middle of the field, you know, like tripping my mind out."

Timberlake will perform at this year's Wireless Festival, where he will hopefully keep his senses and sobriety until after his co-headline slot with Jay-Z.

Timberlake scored the fastest selling album of 2013 so far with his new release The 20/20 Experience, and recently spoke of his shock at selling nearly a million copies of the album in just one week.

"Whoa... Speechless. Shocked. Numbers go up, numbers go down. I just hope this album makes your Summer... You already made mine," he tweeted after hitting the US top spot.

He also hinted at more surprises coming in the coming week for fans, adding: "I'm gonna find a way to show my appreciation to you ladies and gents this week ... Stay tuned"
