Singer-songwriter Halsey has been making headlines with deeply personal revelations about their health, a new concept album, and a current concert tour. The artist, known for their genre-bending music and candid persona, has offered fans an intimate look into their recent struggles and artistic evolution.
Just this month, Halsey shared a candid selfie on social media showing a medical port on their chest, a testament to their ongoing health challenges. This followed their revelation in June 2024 of being diagnosed with Lupus SLE and a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder. In a heartfelt message, the 30-year-old artist, who uses she/they pronouns, shared that they are "lucky to be alive" and that the diagnoses came after a difficult period of uncertainty.
The health journey has been a direct inspiration for their latest music. In a surprise release in June 2024, Halsey unveiled "The End," a raw and emotional ballad that directly addresses their health struggles. The song served as the lead single for their fifth studio album, **"The Great Impersonator,"** which was released in October 2024.
"The Great Impersonator" has been presented as a unique concept album where Halsey musically embodies different artists and styles from various decades, exploring themes of identity and artistic influence. The album features a tracklist of 18 songs, including titles like "Only Living Girl In LA," "Letter To God (1974)," and "The Great Impersonator."
Despite their health concerns, Halsey has embarked on the **"For My Last Trick" tour** in 2025, bringing their new music and beloved hits to audiences across North America. Reports from the tour highlight the artist's resilience and dedication to performing for their fans, even while navigating the complexities of their health conditions.
Amidst these professional and health-related developments, Halsey continues to share glimpses into their personal life, including their relationship with fiancé Avan Jogia and their experiences as a parent to their son, Ender. Their openness has been met with an outpouring of support from fans and the music community, who have praised their vulnerability and strength.
