Demi Lovato says tour will be her last as she "can't do this anymore' after falling sick

Demi Lovato has announced she doesn't plan on touring again, telling her fans on Instagram : "I can't do this anymore."

The singer, 30, is currently on tour after releasing her eighth studio album, Holy Fvck, and in a series of now deleted posts said "this next tour will be my last."

On her InstaStory, the former Disney star shared photos of her looking out of a hotel window, with the words: “I’m so f***ing sick I can’t get out of bed. I can’t do this anymore. This next tour will be my last. I love and thank you guys.”

Later on, the chart topper wrote on her InstaStory: "Gonna power thru it for you guys", with a sick face emoji and black heart emoji, continuing: "I'll need help singing so sing loud for me bb's!!"

She also shared a mirror selfie in which she wore a green and black chequered jacket and black trousers with a silver chain and crosses, writing: "I barely have a voice, I’m gonna be pointing the mic to the audience a lot tonight please sing for me.”

Following the concert, Demi wrote: "You guys reeeally pulled thru tonight.. thank you soo f**king much- I love you more than you know." She finished the post with two teary eyed emojis.

The Camp Rock star's tour began a month ago in Des Moines before heading to South America, and she still has a number of gigs in the US to come.

Demi, who has been in the limelight for around 20 years, having starred in Barney & Friends as a child, has been open about her struggles with an eating disorder and substance abuse.

She has published a memoir and released two documentaries, most recently the 2021 programme, Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil, which detailed her 2018 accidental heroin overdose, which reportedly left her "five minutes from death".

However last month Demi revealed her regrets over the documentaries.

"Honestly, I'm really sick of watching myself, and I think other people probably are too.

"And if they aren't, then they can watch my music videos, the star told Alternative Press.

She continued: "I wish I would have waited until I had my s**t figured out more because now it’s cemented. Sobriety is what works for me and nothing else."

Demi, who claims she gave up substances altogether in 2019 before undergoing treatment for addiction, says she will continue to share her story with her fans by alternative means.

"My story's not done, so I want to be able to say by the time I've written a book, 'OK, this is me grown up,'" she added.

The former X Factor US judge released Holy Fvck earlier this month, which she describes a a return to her 'rock 'n' roll roots'.

One of it's track, '29', discusses her relationship at age 17 with 29-year old Wilmer Valderrama.
