Demi Lovato's mum's poignant message to singer one month before overdose

In 2018 Demi Lovato's mum thought her daughter was going from strength to strength.

In the 28-year-old singer's new tell-all YouTube Originals documentary, Dancing With The Devil, her mum can be heard predicting that the singer's career was "only going to get better" after a huge performance.

However, just a month later the Sorry Not Sorry singer's life was hanging in the balance after an overdose.

The eagerly anticipated four-part documentary starts with Dianna De La Garza making the claim in an excited phone call to her daughter after the gig..

Dianna is heard saying: "Demi, I think this is the best show you have ever done and do you know what? I think it's only going to get better from here."

But things took a huge turn for the worse shortly after.

On July 24, 2018 paramedics found the singer unconscious and unresponsive after she suffered a heroin overdose.

She had previously completed six years of being sober but the overdose left her fighting for her life.

In harrowing scenes on the documentary the singer's pals also admit that she should be "100 percent" dead after the incident.

Speaking shortly after her daughter's overdose, Dianna said she didn't even know what had happened at first.

She revealed in an interview with Newsmax that she was getting inundated with texts about the incident and spoke about how her "heart dropped" before Demi's assistant called her with the news.

Dianna went on to thank fans for their support of her daughter and credited her recovery in part to them.

"I just feel like the reason she is alive today is because of the millions and millions of prayers that went up that day when everybody found out what was happening," she said.

"I don't think she would be here if it wasn't for those prayers and the good doctors at Cedars-Sinai."

The former Disney Channel star terrifyingly revealed that she was just "five to 10 minutes" away from losing her life and that she wouldn't have survived if she wasn't found when she was.
