Demi Lovato is talking openly about how a near-fatal drug overdose altered her course in life.

The Sorry Not Sorry star discusses her drug addiction and claims she got to the point where she was “five minutes” away from passing away.

“When they found me, I was turning blue and the doctor said I had five to ten more minutes left,” she told presenter Zane Lowe from Apple Music 1 radio station.

“If no one had come in, I wouldn’t be here today.”

Adding further of the overcoming her demons, Demi added: “Recovery is a lot. And with time, comes trust,” she said of her family and friend’s reaction. “It was a learning experience of, ‘OK, people are going to have to learn to trust you again’.

“The only way they can do that is by you proving yourself. Not just talking but taking actions. My family is incredible. Do they worry to this day? Absolutely.”

She added: “That’s never going to go away, what I put them through. As a consequence they end- ed up suffering.”
