D.J's Music Site wants to send our condolences to the Demi Lovato and the Lovatics on the passing of Demi's biological father. We heard the news over the weekend when it broke but was stung by the news. It has been know that Demi and her biological father wasn't that close.
Lovato broke the silence to her fans and thank them and her family for the support after the death of her father, Patrick Lovato who died at 54.
I feel so humbled to have had so much support from my fans, friends, family and complete strangers.. God bless you all, thank you so much ?
Patrick Lovato and Demi's mother Dianna De La Garza divorced in 1994. Demi's song "For the Love of a Daughter" from her 2011 album Unbroken reflects her strained relationship with her dad. In the song, she sings, "How could you push me out of your world, lie to your flesh and your blood, put your hands on the ones that you swore you loved?"
In 2009, Lovato told New York's Daily News why she cut ties with her father.
"The last time I talked to him was two years ago," she said. "You try to have faith in somebody, even when you're the last person that believes in him. But when somebody lets you down after you've been the only one there for them, and so many times, you don't know what to do."
JustJared reported that Patrick was reportedly battling throat cancer in recent years.
Demi's mom Dianna De La Garza and Patrick's ex-wfie also went to Twitter after the news broke.
Thank you all for the outpouring of love and prayers. Y'all are amazing! http://t.co/tG0vBGC0zm
