Angels. Demi Lovato revealed on Wednesday that she suffered a heart attack and three strokes after the overdose for which she was hospitalized in 2018 and after which she almost lost her life.

“Doctors said he only has 5 or 10 minutes left to live,” said the singer in the trailer for the documentary “Dancing with the Devil”, which will premiere on March 23 in four installments via the YouTube platform.

The Mexican-born artist returned to the stage at last year’s Grammy after a period of rehabilitation after suffering an overdose of fentanyl in the summer of 2018, which still has consequences for her health.

“I was left with brain injuries and I’m still dealing with the effects. I can’t drive because I have blind spots in sight. I couldn’t read for a long time “, the star explained in a call with the media to present the documentary.

Lovato said that these side effects remind him of what could have happened and what would happen if he returned to “that dark area.”

“I am grateful for these reminders, but I am grateful that I am someone who did not have to do much for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation came on the emotional side “, he confessed.

“Everything had to happen in order to learn the lessons we learned,” he added. I am very proud of the person I am now. “

The documentary, which will be screened at the South by Southwest (SXSW) film festival in Austin, Texas in March, explores Lovato’s addiction problems and eating disorders as a child star, as well as the weight of fame in its most irregular stages.

In addition to the singer’s testimony, other artists such as Christina Aguilera and Elton John participate in the film.

“Being young and famous, God, is hard,” John says in the trailer.
