From endometriosis to blood cancer: singer Halsey's health issues

Halsey Disclosure "The End", an acoustic ballad released by Halsey on her fifth album, "Great Impersonator", gives a little of the tone of the singer's life. The 31-year-old American artist released the track in 2024 citing that she was lucky to be alive. And, in the song, she sings that: "Every two years or so, a doctor says I'm sick He pulls out a new trick and throws it all at me At first it was my brain, then a skeleton in pain And I don't like to complain, but I apologize." Halsey does not exaggerate the report. And he still finds space to talk about love and its importance in fighting his physical pain and emotional battles. In recent years, Halsey has revealed that she suffers from: Bipolar disorder; Endometriosis; Ehlers-Danlos syndrome; Sjögren's syndrome; Mast cell activation syndrome; Tachycardiac orthostatic postural syndrome; Lupus; Rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder. One of her last accounts of some of her illnesses came in 2025, when she stated that she had a catheter inserted and had some chemotherapy sessions as part of her treatment. The singer will perform on September 13, at the Rock in Rio World Stage. (See the full schedule.)

"I've been hospitalized twice since I became Halsey, and no one found out. But I'm not ashamed to talk about it now," said the artist, whose birth name is Ashley Nicolette Frangipane. She also recalled that the choice for hospitalization was her own and that she informed her manager. "I told him, 'Look, I'm not going to do anything bad right now, but I'm getting to the point where I'm afraid I might end up doing it, so I need to go take care of it'. It still happens in my body. I just know when to act before it gets worse."

The following year, when she was 23, she revealed that she was in the process of freezing her eggs. "Having an egg reserve is important to me because I'm lucky enough to have that as an option," she told the medical television show "The Doctors." At the same time, the singer revealed that she suffered a miscarriage in the middle of a show when she didn't even know she was pregnant. Halsey spoke of "the feeling of looking hundreds of teenagers in the face while you're bleeding through your clothes and having to keep doing the show." In 2021, Halsey gave birth to her first child, Ender. Diagnosis of rare syndromes Despite her joy with motherhood, Halsey declared, in 2022, that her health has changed a lot since she became pregnant. "I started to get very, very sick," the singer revealed. Halsey commented that she had been experiencing allergies very frequently. And, in the search for a diagnosis, he discovered some syndromes considered rare: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome [a condition that generates "elastic skin" and hypermobility], Sjögren's Syndrome [which affects the salivary and lacrimal glands], Mast Cell Activation Syndrome [which releases inflammatory mediators in an unregulated manner], and Tachycardizing Orthostatic Postural Syndrome [a condition that causes benign arrhythmia]. "I'm still looking for answers to the cause of some of these things, which could be some other type of autoimmune disease. And I know I've had autoimmune problems most of my life, mainly because I have endometriosis, but it's been exhausting," said the artist. As with the track "The End", the singer stated that she was confident in her treatment. But it was at this time that the singer took a break from her career to take care of her health. Halsey Disclosure In her extensive account of her health, Halsey revealed, in 2024, that she had been diagnosed with lupus and a rare lymphoproliferative cell disorder. The disease is a form of blood cancer and is characterized by the uncontrolled growth of T cells (a cell whose main objective is to identify and kill pathogens or infected cells). According to the singer, the two diseases are being managed and treated. "I'll probably have both my whole life." "In short, I'm lucky to be alive. Lengthening the summary, I wrote an album," said Halsey, in 2024, when talking about some of her health issues in a video published online. In the same post, she stated: "I told myself I would give myself two more years to be sick. When I turn 30, I will be reborn and I will no longer be sick. I will look amazing, have a lot of energy and be able to relive my early twenties now in my thirties." Halsey returns to Brazil after ten years and is about to turn 32 (her birthday is September 29).
