Halsey revealed on Tuesday that she has been privately battling chronic illnesses. The singer shared her personal health news in a heartfelt social media post, coinciding with the release of "The End," a song on her upcoming fifth studio album.

Halsey, whose real name is Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, did not explicitly confirm her diagnoses in the post. However, she tagged the Lupus Research Alliance, a nonprofit organization funding lupus research, and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, a nonprofit funding blood cancer research, suggesting potential connections to these illnesses.

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can damage the skin, joints, organs, or other parts of the body, according to the Lupus Foundation of America. Leukemia and lymphoma are types of cancer that can affect blood cells and the immune system, according to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

"Long story short, I’m lucky to be alive. Short story long, I wrote an album," Halsey wrote in the Instagram caption. A representative for the singer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The social media post included videos documenting various moments in Halsey's health journey, including footage of her receiving infusions at a hospital and a clip of her recording "The End" while strumming a guitar. In the first video, Halsey, 29, is seen saying, "I feel like an old lady," while rubbing her calves and groaning in apparent discomfort. "I told myself I’m giving myself two more years to be sick... When I’m 30, I’m having a rebirth, and I’m not gonna be sick. I’m gonna look super hot, have lots of energy, and re-do my 20s in my 30s."

Her new song appears to delve into the more personal aspects of her experience with chronic illness. The song opens with the verse: "Every couple of years now, a doctor says I’m sick / Pulls out a brand new bag of tricks / And then they lay it on me / And at first, it was my brain, then a skeleton in pain."

"When I met you, I said I would never die / But the joke was always mine ‘cause I’m racing against time," she sings in the acoustic ballad. "And I know it’s not the end of the world, but could you pick me up at 8? / 'Cause my treatment starts today."

This isn't the first time the pop star has opened up about her health struggles online. In 2022, Halsey shared on her Instagram stories that she became "really, really, really sick" after giving birth the previous year.

"I was hospitalized for anaphylaxis a few times and had some other stuff going on," she wrote at the time. "Basically, after seeing like 100,000 doctors, I got diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Sjogren’s syndrome, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)."

Halsey’s openness about her health battles has resonated with many of her fans, who appreciate her transparency and bravery. By sharing her journey, she hopes to raise awareness about these conditions and provide support to others who may be facing similar struggles. Her candidness has also sparked conversations about the challenges of living with chronic illnesses, highlighting the need for greater understanding and research in these areas. As Halsey continues to create music and connect with her audience, she remains a powerful advocate for those affected by these diseases, using her platform to inspire and educate.
