Halsey, the “Without Me” singer, has candidly shared her ongoing health battles in her latest song, “The End,” expressing gratitude for being alive. The 29-year-old artist took to Instagram on Tuesday to announce the release of her new track and reflect on her health journey.
In an emotional post, Halsey wrote: “Long story short, I’m lucky to be alive. Short story long, I wrote an album. It begins with ‘The End.’ Out now.” The message accompanied the debut of the new song and underscored the gravity of her health issues.
Halsey also highlighted her support for the Lupus Research Alliance and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, tagging both organizations in her post. Although she has not disclosed a specific diagnosis, accompanying videos showed her dealing with various medical treatments.
In one video, Halsey described feeling like “an old lady” and expressed a hopeful outlook for her future health. “By 30, I’m having a rebirth and I’m not gonna be sick. I’m gonna look super hot, have lots of energy, and get to redo my 20s in my 30s,” she said.
Another video showed Halsey in a medical facility, marking the first day of her treatment. The final video provided a montage of her treatment experiences, offering a glimpse into her personal struggles.
“The End” lyrically navigates Halsey’s health challenges, with poignant lines 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 / At first it was my brain, then a skeleton in pain / And I don’t like to complain, but I’m saying sorry.” The song concludes with: “When I met you I said I would never die / But the joke was always mine, ’cause I’m racing against time / And I know it’s not the end of the world / But could you pick me up at 8 / ‘Cause my treatment starts today.”
Halsey, who is also a mother to her 2-year-old son Ender, has previously spoken about her struggles with endometriosis and other health issues.
“Good Morning America” has reached out to Halsey for further comment on her recent disclosures and her new music.
