After receiving support for her health and her latest single, “The End,” Halsey delved deeper into her life behind closed doors.

“Thank you guys for the incredible love for ‘The End’ and support you’ve shown me since its release,” Halsey began in a post on June 5.

“I realize that everyone is hearing news that I’ve kept to myself for a very long time, and I wasn’t sure how much I wanted to share. You’ve all been so kind, so I want to share a little more.”

She continued by sharing her two diagnoses: “In 2022, I was first diagnosed with lupus SLE and then a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disease. Both are currently being treated or in remission; and both I will likely have for the rest of my life.”

Lupus SLE (systemic lupus erythematosus) is the most common form of this autoimmune disease. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue.
