Demi Lovato has always made it a point to inspire her fans with positive messages. Last year, she released the self-help book, Staying Strong, which is full of quotes and daily affirmations based on her past struggles. Now she is taking that spirit on the road. Instead of having a musical act open for her on tour, she has enlisted motivational speaker Spencer West, who lost both his legs at a young age, to warm-up her fans prior to her performances.
According to People, Lovato and West met in East Africa while they were both working with Free The Children, an organization that seeks to empower youth, and they became friends.
"Spencer West is not only a really great friend of mine, but a huge inspirational speaker," Lovato said in a video clip (see below). "After I spent some time around him and realized what an amazing person he is and how incredible he is at speaking, I decided to bring him on tour."
