Yesterday (June 4), the ‘So Good’ singer took to her Instagram account and shared a carousel of photos and videos of them at various points of their treatment. One saw them in a mask on “day one” of her treatment, while another was a montage of them in a hospital at various points.
In the first video, she is seen saying: “I feel like an old lady. I told myself I’m giving myself two more years to be sick. I’m 30, I’m having a rebirth and I’m not going to be sick, I’m going to look super hot and have lots of energy and I’m just going to get to redoing my twenties and my thirties.”
The post revealed that she has written an album and her new single ‘The End’ was released. In her post, the charities Lupus Research Alliance and Leukemia & Lymphoma Society were tagged in the caption with proceeds from ‘The End’ to both charities.
Now, the artist has shared another carousel post on Instagram with photos of them playing the piano and guitar along with scrapbook collages of them as a child. In the caption, she gave an update on her health.
“Thank you guys for the unbelievable amount of love for ‘The End’ and the support you’ve shown me since its release. I realize everyone is catching up with news I’ve held in for a very long time, and I wasn’t sure how much I wanted to share,” the musician wrote.
They continued: “You’ve all been so kind so I want to share a bit more. In 2022, I was first diagnosed with Lupus SLE and then a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder. Both of which are currently being managed or in remission; and both of which I will likely have for the duration of my life.
“After a rocky start, I slowly got everything under control with the help of amazing doctors. After 2 years, I’m feeling better and I’m more grateful than ever to have music to turn to. I can’t wait to get back where I belong: With you all Singing and screaming my heart out.”
Halsey has been teasing a new album via a cryptic new website under the name For My Last Trick. It features a number of vintage-themed items and stickers with phrases including ‘Master Mystifier’, ‘You Won’t Find Me Here’, ‘Southern Belle’, ‘Candy’ and more. Fans online are speculating that these could be new song titles.
There is also a sticker that reads: ‘I have something you tell you’. When fans click on this, it takes you to an email sign-up link. When you click on a ticket stub, a vintage letter, dated July 1971, unfolds. It reads: “Hello, it’s Halsey. It’s been a while.”
“As you may have guessed, I have written a new album. But I needed some time to figure out how to say what I needed to say. You see, I’ve been holding [REDACTED] and I need to let it out.”
The letter continues: “There’s so much I am going to reveal on this record, but you need to know some of the story first. So before the chaos and confetti of big singles and album releases I just needed to tell you, my friend, why it all matters this time. I’m releasing a new song on June 4. It’s just for us. Let’s start at THE END.”
Halsey opened up last September about working on her first record under new label Columbia Records. “Not pictured: me splitting myself in two everyday so that I can give you my deepest wounds (and a handful of perfect joys) for the fifth time in 10 years,” she wrote on Instagram.
Back in March, Halsey also revealed that she was working on new music in the studio alongside Alex G. The singer posted a brief snippet of music to her social media platforms, depicting Alex G sitting at a production desk, with Halsey behind the camera saying, “Engineer Alex”.
