The US singer Demi Lovato, pop icon, turns 30 this Saturday (20). As the owner of one of pop’s most powerful voices, she’s not just an innate talent, but a survivor of stardom since childhood.
Demi Lovato was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico (USA) to a singer who was recording an album (Dianna). Demi was already scratching guitar and piano at the age of seven.
Two years later he was already on television, as a supporting role in the children’s series “Barney and His Friends”. At 16 he was already an exclusive Disney star and, alongside the Jonas Brothers, is already the protagonist of the two feature films “Camp Rock” (2008 and 2010).
The second, one of the best young adult scores of this century, has the sweet “This Is Our Song”.
Experience (yet) with drugs
A victim of childhood bullying, Demi’s life didn’t get much better in her teens and early adulthood.
To make matters worse, he admitted that he lost his virginity in a rape when he was a minor.
The emotional upheaval, the weight that fame brings, and more demands to “fit” the standards of body beauty for television and cinema left the artist depressed and with comorbidities such as drug use and a bulimic episode.
As with most celebrities, the result was a drug addiction. In 2018, she overdosed and even went blind.
He has only won part of the war so far, as he revealed he still uses alcohol and marijuana.
But Demi won and this week released her eighth album, Holy Fvck, with a much more rock than pop aesthetic, with heavy guitars.
SP, Minas and Rio
On the 30th and 31st, those lucky enough to have tickets can see Demi at a concert in São Paulo (Espaço Unimed, formerly Espaço das Américas).
Two days later, the American performs in Minas, on the Esplanada do Mineirão
Finally on the 4th at Rock in Rio.
