Fans of Halsey have expressed their support after the singer took to social media saying “I’m lucky to be alive.” The “Without Me” star, who uses the pronouns she/they, updated followers on Tuesday with an Instagram post saying: “long story short, i’m Lucky to be alive. short story long, i wrote an album. it begins with The End. out now.”
The message was accompanied by a series of short video clips, the first of which showed Halsey sitting down and continuously rubbing their legs. “Seriously, seriously… like an old lady,” the 29-year-old said in the video. “I told myself I’m going to give myself two more years to be sick.
“At 30 I’m having a rebirth and I’m not going to be sick and I’m going to look super-hot and have lots of energy and I’m just going to get to redo my 20s in my 30s.”
One user reacted: “Halsey is the voice for so many chronically ill. Just another reason why she’s my hero since I have something for the rest of my life but still want to live my dream. I’m so excited to hear this story. I love you so much” Another, wrote: “ I love you 🤍 chronic illness is hell but you’re incredible.”
Halsey did not elaborate on what their condition is but tagged the Lupus Research Alliance and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. CNN has reached out to a representative for Halsey for comment.
Another video showed Halsey hooked up to some kind of infusion, wearing a mask and saying “treatment day one.” Other shots showed them crying, wearing a headscarf and being on a drip.
