Updated on Friday, June 7 at 2:00p.m. PT: Halsey has revealed their most recent health diagnosis after posting vague yet concerning videos that day prior.
In a post to their official Instagram, the Badlands singer revealed they had been diagnosed with Lupus SLE and a rare “T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder” back in 2022. Though they got off to a “rocky start,” they shared that both diseases are thankfully in the process of being managed or in remission.
Lupus is an autoimmune disease that causes the body’s immune system to view healthy tissues as foreign invaders and attacks them rather than actual bad bacteria and viruses. Lymphoproliferative disorders are “a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled production of white blood cells called lymphocytes. It can include leukemia and lymphoma,” according to Healthline.
“After 2 years, I’m feeling better and I’m more grateful than ever to have music to turn to. I can’t wait to get back where I belong: With you all, Singing and screaming my heart out.

Halsey is sharing more unfortunate news with their fans and followers.
If you’ll remember, back in 2022, they revealed that they had been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, mast cell activation syndrome and POTS (postural tachycardia syndrome) and Sjogren’s syndrome, an autoimmune disorder. The diagnosis came after an eight year journey of countless tests and doctor visits.
Now, in a new post shared to Instagram on Tuesday, the If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power singer has provided yet another unfortunate update to their health. While she didn’t say what specific illness or disease she was dealing with, in a carousel of videos, they can be seen in hospital rooms going through some processes on multiple occasions. In the opening video, they also share that this is going to be the last two years that they’ll be sick before she has a “rebirth” on by the time she turns 30.
“I feel like an old lady,” Halsey said. “I told myself I’m giving myself two more years to be sick. At 30, I’m having a rebirth and I’m not gonna be sick and I’m gonna look super hot and have lots of energy and I’m just gonna get to re-do my 20s in my 30s.”
“Long story short, I’m lucky to be alive. Short story long, I wrote an album,” she captioned in her post while tagging the accounts for the Lupus Research Alliance and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
But it’s not all bad news. Amidst their health struggles, the Badlands singer also revealed that she’s working on a new album and teased its release by dropping a new song “The End.” In the nearly three-and-a-half-minute-long song, she talks about not being listened to by doctors, enduring different diagnosis and treatments, and more.
