Last month, Demi Lovato released her song Sober admitting that she had relapsed after several years of sobriety. Since the song’s release, she played several dates in Europe and one in California on Sunday night. There are rumors, that she relapsed sometime during spring. Which means she probably did not have time to get help for her addiction.
Which could be why TMZ is reporting that she was rushed to the hospital just before noon today for a suspected heroin overdose. While The Blast says the “exact nature of the emergency is still unclear.” Sources were “adamant” to them that it was not due to heroin.
Since this just happened within the last two hours, little much else is known at this time.
What is known is that she is slated to play Atlantic City on Thursday night, and then Latin America in September and November. Hopefully, she will take some time off to get herself better. And realize that after today that she is not alone and does not need to feel lonely again.
UPDATE: TMZ is now reporting that she was unconscious when paramedics got there and they gave her Narcan, a drug to treat narcotic overdoses, when she was treated at her Hollywood Hills this morning before being taken to the hospital. They are also reporting that she spent yesterday celebrating a friend’s birthday in West Hollywood.
UPDATE: Her aunt Kerissa Webb Dunn posted this positive update on Facebook, “Demi is awake and responsive- Thank God!! Thank you for your prayers and please continue praying for her full recovery both short and long term.”
