To my Lovatics who have been rocking out with me since the beginning and those who are just now coming along for the ride, thank you. This record is for you.”

In an interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, Demi noted that Kelly Clarkson’s music largely influenced her new album. Speaking about Clarkson’s record Since You’ve Been Gone, Demi said:

Demi Lovato is not the only artist to get exhausted from tour

Demi Lovato is not the only singer to experience sickness and exhaustion from touring. Earlier this month, Justin Bieber canceled the rest of his tour dates. Bieber was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome earlier this year, and said that the tour has left him exhausted. Ramsay Hunt Syndrome causes partial paralysis in the face. The singer has only performed six different shows since his recovery.

In July, Shawn Mendes canceled his remaining world tour dates. The Stitches singer had previously postponed several shows citing his mental health. He later canceled the tour, saying that he wanted time to heal.
