The singer has struggled for years with drug and alcohol addiction, mental illness, and self-harm. One of her most famous songs, “Sober,” was her admitting that she had relapsed after being sober for years. She overdosed only a month after this song was released. She then performed at the Grammys in 2020 after recovering, belting her song “Anyone.” This ballad pled for help, saying she fell into the depths of her addiction and lost her strong connection to music.
Elton John publicly congratulated Lovato on Twitter for being brave and opening up to the world.
So proud of you @ddlovato for opening up to the world about your addictions and the importance of our physical, emotional, and mental health Exx 🚀 #DemiDWTD https://t.co/gzBOdok3Ee

He is also known for reaching stardom, only to crash into addiction. Elton John has been sober for 30 years, and the trailer shows him being interviewed in Lovato’s upcoming series.
“Dancing with the Devil” will be a four-part series and will be free to watch. The first two episodes will be released together, and the next two will be released the following week.
