Famous singer Halsey confirmed that doctors issued a Lupus SLE and a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder diagnosis, and revealed this may very well be a lifelong health battle.

The famous singer posted a lengthy message to Instagram on Wednesday, just one day after sparking concern by sharing images that showed signs of frailty, as well as a bald head. Videos captured the star while undergoing a medical procedure. Halsey previously shared the new single, “The End” as part of an upcoming album.

“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 star wrote. “You’ve all been so kind so I want to share a bit more.”

Halsey went on to provide a shocking, devastating medical update.

“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.”

Words of thanks and a nod to her medical team soon followed. The star then stunned fans by revealing how long the health battle has been a silent fight.
