(CNN) – Demi Lovato has been hospitalized for an apparent drug overdose Tuesday morning. The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed to CNN that they received a call at 11:22 am for a medical emergency and transported a 25 year old woman to a local hospital. Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Jeff Lee said the emergency was in the 8000 block of Laurel View Drive in the Laurel Canyon area.
Lovato’s hospitalization comes just weeks after the singer, who has struggled with substance abuse, revealed she had recently suffered a relapse. The pop star made the revelation about the setback in her single “Sober,” that released last month. She said in March that she was celebrating six years of sobriety. The singer has spoken candidly in interviews about her use of cocaine and addiction to alcohol, as well as mental health issues and an eating disorder.
“Sober” did not reveal the nature of Lovato’s relapse. In it she sang, “I’m sorry for the fans I lost who watched me fall again. I want to be a role model but I’m only human.” She also sang, “I’m sorry that I’m here again. I promise I’ll get help.”
Lovato, who is from North Texas, was set to perform Thursday in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
