The "Sober" singer has been candid about her struggle with addiction in the past, and told fans via Instagram that she would be taking time to focus on healing and recovery. Luckily, the singer appears to be in a much healthier place. In January, Lovato celebrated six months of sobriety, as per Us Weekly.
It's not clear when the singer plans to release new music, but Lovato seems to be planning for the future. One thing is certain — no matter when she drops a new album her friends, family, management, and fans will be there to show their support .
