Demi Lovato to open up about near-fatal overdose in new YouTube docuseries

Demi Lovato will open up on her traumatising, near-fatal overdose back in an upcoming YouTube series - Dancing With The Devil.

The 28-year-old pop musician and actress taken to hospital in Los Angeles in July 2018 after relapsing following six years of sobriety from substance addiction.

“There has been so much that I’ve wanted to say, but knew I had to say it right.

“Thank you to my family, friends, and fans for staying by my side over the years as I learn and grow. I’m so excited to finally share this story with you that I’ve held on to for the last two years.”

The four-part documentary series is directed by Michael D. Ratner and promises to give fans “unprecedented access” to Lovato’s recovery and career since the overdose.

The 'Cool For The Summer' singer has previously described the day she almost died as her “miracle day”.

This is the third documentary Lovato has featured in, following 2012's Stay Strong - which explored her recovery after she cancelled a tour with the Jonas Brothers to enter rehab - and 2017's Simply Complicated. In the latter, Lovato admitted that she had been dishonest in Stay Strong and had been under the influence of cocaine during the making of the film.
