Halsey—who shares 3-year-old son Ender with ex Alev Aydin—first disclosed their health struggles in June, shortly after releasing the song, “The End.”
“In 2022, I was first diagnosed with Lupus SLE and then a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder,” Halsey wrote on Instagram at the time. “Both of which are currently being managed or in remission; and both of which I will likely have for the duration of my life.”
Lupus SLE is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to attack healthy tissue, according to the National Institutes of Health. As for T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder, the organization says it relates to bone marrow cell production, and is rare, but occurs in immunocompromised individuals.
Fortunately, Halsey noted that they’re managing the diseases, adding, “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.”
After all, the Grammy nominee added on X, “When I started writing it, I thought it might be the last album I ever got the chance to make.”
The Great Impersonator is out now.
