06 Aug, 2018

Hollywood’s pop singer Demi Lovato was hospitalized due to a drug over dose last month. She was kept under observation for few days as she was reportedly close to death. After being treated, Demi has shared her feelings and thanked everyone for the love and support.

On Sunday, the singer broke her silence for the first time on her drug overdose on her Instagram. “I have always been transparent about my journey with addiction. What I’ve learned is that this illness is not something that disappears or fades with time. It is something I must continue to overcome and have not done yet,” she said.

Demi was also thankful to God for keeping her alive and praises her fans for the continuous love and support. “I want to thank God for keeping me alive and well to my fans, I am forever grateful for all of your love and support throughout this past week and beyond. Your positive thoughts and prayers have helped me navigate through this difficult time”.
