Demi Lovato tells Joe Rogan she was \u201cminutes from dying\u201d during relapse Joe Rogan\/YouTubeSinger Demi Lovato revealed the close call that almost cost her her life during a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Lovato is undeniably a massive celebrity, but that attention means that the issues she\u2019s faced throughout her career are constantly under the microscope. During episode #1625 of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Lovato revealed to fans and Rogan that, while she\u2019s now sober, things almost ended tragically during her battle with drug addiction in 2018. While discussing how she used marijuana (one of Rogan\u2019s favorite topics) to help her recover from serious drug addiction, the 28-year-old described the harrowing experience of her most serious overdose. \u201cI overdosed on crack and heroin laced with fentanyl, and I OD\u2019d in 2018 \u2014 that experience was a near death experience for me, the doctors told me I had 5-10 minutes before it was too late,\u201d Lovato revealed. \u201cI had three strokes, a heart attack, multiple organ failure\u2026and I still have brain damage.\u201d She explained that the brain damage includes hearing loss and even blind spots in her vision that even prevent her from driving. \u201cSo even your face, I see your eyeballs, but I don\u2019t see your nose, your mouth or even your microphone,\u201d she told Rogan after the host asked her what she could see. \u201cIt looks like I looked at the sun.\u201d Topic starts at 4:30 for mobile users. Drug addiction is still taboo to discuss even though it\u2019s a widespread issue, but Lovato seemed perfectly fine talking about her past issues with Rogan, and how she\u2019s using her power and fame to try and help out others. While Lovato is still struggling with the effects of addiction even after recovery, like most addicts do, she\u2019s managed to make it through the ordeal and is coming out with her seventh studio album \u201cDancing with the Devil \u2026 The Art of Starting Over\u201d in April 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
