Demi Lovato suffers facial injury ahead of ‘Jimmy Kimmel’ appearance

Demi Lovato suffered an injury and required stitches after hitting their head on a crystal the day before a Jimmy Kimmel Live! appearance (July 13).

The singer took to TikTok to share their misfortune, posting a video which showed one hand covering their forehead as the viral “nobody’s gonna know” sound played in the background.

Lovato then removes their hard to reveal a bloody cut, mouthing the word “Fuck!” with a smile. The caption reads: “Guess who hit their head on a crystal and has to get stitches before Kimmel tomorrow?”

Lovato’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday (July 14) came ahead of the release of ‘Substance’, which they had previously teased on Instagram.

The pop-punk track serves as the second preview of the singer’s eighth studio album ‘Holy Fvck’, which is due for release on August 19 via Island. Lead single ‘Skin Of My Teeth’ arrived last month.
