Halsey Opens Up About Health Struggles in “The End” Release
The Details
On June 4, Halsey revealed on Instagram that she has been dealing with a serious health issue for the past few years, although she didn’t offer specifics on her diagnosis. She did disclose, however, that her disorder is serious enough that she considers herself “lucky to be alive.”
Halsey said she wrote her new album as a way to process what she’s been going through. “Long story short, I wrote an album,” she shared on Instagram. “It begins with The End. Out now.” In the post, she included a carousel of videos and images that offered an intimate look into her ongoing health struggles.
Though Halsey didn’t name her diagnosis, she did tag both the Lupus Research Alliance and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in the Instagram post, indicating that perhaps one of those conditions is at play.
“The End” and Halsey’s Candid Discussion About Her Health
One song on the album, also called “The End,” deals directly with the emotional tumult of Halsey’s health struggles. “Every couple of years now, a doctor says I’m sick,” she sings in the opening line, before delving into the complications and frustrations of living with an ongoing chronic condition.
The song offers an intimate insight into Halsey’s journey, with lyrics such as “And I know it’s not the end of the world, but could you pick me up at 8? / ‘Cause my treatment starts today.”
The powerful ballad has drawn supportive messages from Halsey’s fans and fellow celebrities alike.
Privacy and Health in the Public Eye
Halsey has been candid about her personal struggles in the past, discussing her diagnosis with endometriosis and advocating for more research and funding for the condition. In her recent Instagram post, she also spoke out in defense of Kate Middleton, who faced scrutiny when she took time off in order to attend to her own health struggles.
Halsey made it clear that she believes those in the public eye have a right to their privacy, especially when it comes to medical issues. “And with respect to public life, who you are and how you’re doing when you ‘sign up for this’ is subject to change at any moment. And the newly changed ‘you’ in place (for whatever amount of time; days weeks years) may not have the same stamina or tolerance,” she wrote.
Conclusion
Halsey’s candid discussion of her health struggles in “The End” has been met with an outpouring of support from fans and fellow celebrities alike. The emotional ballad offers insight into the challenges of living with a chronic medical condition, and Halsey’s advocacy for privacy and understanding for those dealing with health issues should be appreciated.
