A representative for American pop singer, Demi Lovato, says she is awake and recovering with her family after she was reportedly hospitalized Tuesday for a drug overdose.
“Demi is awake and with her family who want to express thanks to everyone for the love, prayers and support,” Lovato’s representative said in a statement Tuesday evening. “Some of the information being reported is incorrect and they respectfully ask for privacy and not speculation as her health and recovery is the most important thing right now.”
The statement did not provide any details on what led to the singer’s hospitalization even though TMZ which first reported Lovato’s hospitalization quoted sources as saying she was down with drug overdose.
Lovato indicated in a new song released last month that she relapsed after six years of sobriety. On the song “Sober,” she sings the lyrics: “Momma, I’m so sorry I’m not sober anymore/And daddy please forgive me for the drinks spilled on the floor.”
In “Demi Lovato, Simply Complicated”, a YouTube documentary released last year, the singer openly discusses her cocaine use and battles with alcohol.
Lovato started out as a child actress on the TV series “Barney & Friends,” and as a teen, featured on the Disney Channel film “Camp Rock” and the network series “Sonny with a Chance.” Her foray into music made her a multi-platinum pop star with Top 10 hits like “Sorry Not Sorry,” ”Skyscraper,” ”Heart Attack.” Her 2015 album, “Confident,” earned her a Grammy nomination for best pop vocal album.
