Demi Lovato is sharing more details about the freak accident that led to three stitches on their forehead.

In an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live Thursday, the singer-songwriter, 29, wore what looked to be a wig with bangs that covered up the injury, and gave guest host Mark Rober the backstory about how the accident occurred.

"So I was picking something up off the floor that I dropped and I'm a huge fan of crystals; I have this amethyst that is about this tall," Lovato motioned with their hand, high above the floor.

They continued, "Anyways, I went to bend down and pick something up and I didn't see the amethyst and I hit my head, and I had to get three stitches last night – –in my face!"

After FaceTiming with their doctor, it was determined that the entertainer would need stitches just above their eyebrow.
