Demi Lovato, an 18-year-old Disney star who once dated a member of the Jonas Brothers, is seeking medical treatment for "emotional and physical issues," a spokeswoman said on Monday.
The singer/actress was forced to pull out of a South American tour as the Jonas' opening act.
"Demi Lovato left her tour early this weekend in order to seek medical treatment for emotional and physical issues she has dealt with for some time," the spokeswoman said in a statement."Demi has decided to take personal responsibility for her actions and seek help. She is doing just that. Demi and her family ask that the media please respect their privacy during this difficult time. She regrets not being able to finish her tour, but is looking forward to getting back to work in the near future."
The Texan native rose to fame in the Disney Channel series "Sonny with a Chance" and the network's movie franchise "Camp Rock." She also released two albums, most recently last year's "Here We Go Again." She dated Joe Jonas earlier this year.
But despite her links with the Disney starmaking machine, Lovato has tried to distance herself from the frenzied, bubblegum pop purveyed by her peers and beloved by her fans.
She told Reuters last year that what she really wants to do is stand on stage with just a rug and a microphone "and still be able to sell out places like Madison Square Garden, like Bruce Springsteen does."
