Lovate also on Sunday shared a video clip of her performing \"Sober\" during a concert in Lisbon, Portugal. In the video, Lovato appeared to be fighting back tears as she sang, \"I'm sorry for the fans I lost who watched me fall again/I want to be a role model but I'm only human.\"

\"Tonight I took the stage, a new person with a new life,\" she wrote on Twitter. \"Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout this journey. It will never be forgotten.\"

The singer has been outspoken about her battles with bipolar disorder and substance abuse. A former patient turned advocate, she is now co-owner of Comprehensive Assistance Support Treatment [CAST] Centers, a wellness and recovery program that personally helped her during her battle with substance abuse.

But in May, she hinted that there was more to tell, writing, \"I'll share my truth soon.\"

I’m just gonna let my lyrics say it all... new music coming very soon
