Halsey Diagnosed with Leukemia and Lupus Amid New Music Release

Singer and pop star Halsey is used to battling record executives and the music industry, but now she has a much more serious fight - one for her health.

The 29-year-old two-time Grammy-award winner announced on her socials Tuesday night that she was recently diagnosed with both leukemia and lupus and is focusing her attention on defeating both diseases. The struggle has been so difficult for the "Without Me" singer that she says she's "lucky to be alive."

Halsey Says She's Lucky To Be Alive

"long story short, i'm lucky to be alive… short story, long i wrote an album. it begins with The End. out now," Halsey wrote before linking to both the Lupus Research Alliance and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. She also included two videos - one, a clip of her new song, and another of her crying and documenting her hospital visits and cancer battle.

"I feel like an old lady. I told myself I’m giving myself two more years to be sick. ... 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 twenties in my thirties," Halsey motivates and tells herself in the one clip.

Halsey Informed Her 14 Million Twitter Followers Of Her Diagnosis

"The End" will be featured on Halsey - who came up with the name by rearranging the letters of her real name "Ashley," forthcoming fifth album. Fans can expect a deeply personal dive into the pop star's life with lyrics such as:

"Every couple of years now, a doctor says I’m sick / Pulls out a brand new bag of tricks / And then they lay it on me / And at first, it was my brain, then a skeleton in pain. When I met you, I said I would never die /
But the joke was always mine 'cause I'm racing against time."

Fans that have been following the singer know that she has had her share of battles throughout her life - from being homeless and living in and out of shelters, to being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, as well as battling endometriosis as well as POTS, which affects her heart rate. It's unclear how far along she is in her treatment against Leukemia - which is a type of red blood cell cancer, and Lupus, which is a fatiguing autoimmune disease.
