Selena returned to the spotlight last weekend at the American Music Awards after taking some time off from her pop career to focus on her mental health.

Accepting the award for favourite female pop/rock artist, the star delivered a moving speech, opening up about her recent troubles.

Selena teared up as she said: "I think it's safe to say that most of you know a lot of my life, whether I like it or not, and I had to stop, 'cause I had everything and I was absolutely broken inside.

"And I kept it all together enough to where I would never let you down, but I kept it too much together to where I let myself down."

She ended her speech by telling fans: 'If you are broken, you don't have to stay broken'

She then motioned to her heart as she continued: "I don't want to see your bodies on Instagram I want to see what's in here.

"I'm not trying to get validation, nor do I need it anymore.

"All that I can say from the bottom of my heart is that I'm so grateful that I have the opportunity to be able to share what I love every single day with people that I love.

"And I have to say thank you so much to my fans because you guys are so damn loyal and I don't know what I did to deserve you.

"If you are broken, you do not have to stay broken."
