Halsey hinted she was receiving treatment for leukamia and lupus in an Instagram post<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Grammy-nominated singer Halsey says she’s “lucky to be alive” after struggling with her health.<\/p>\n

Although the 29-year-old did not identify her conditions, she hinted in an Instagram post she’d been diagnosed with lupus and leukaemia.<\/p>\n

In a series of photos and videos, she’s seen in hospital and saying she feels “like an old lady”.<\/p>\n

“Long story short, I\u2019m lucky to be alive,” she wrote in the caption, where she also announced her new album.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Halsey shared the health update while announcing her fifth studio album and releasing its lead single, The End.<\/p>\n

In it, she sings about how “every couple of years now, the doctor says I’m sick”.<\/p>\n

The US singer-songwriter, whose real name is Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, is known for her track Closer with The Chainsmokers and her debut album, Badlands, which went platinum in the US. <\/p>\n

“I told myself I\u2019m giving myself two more years to be sick,” she says in the Instagram video.<\/p>\n

“When I’m 30, I\u2019m having a rebirth and I\u2019m not going to be sick.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m going to look super hot and have lots of energy and get to redo my 20s in my 30s.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Halsey shared her health updates on Instagram, including videos from hospital during treatment <\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
\n

Halsey has spoken previously<\/a> about her poor health, saying: “I’ve kind of been sick most of my adult life”.<\/p>\n

But in 2022 she revealed her health became worse when she was pregnant with her son, Ender, the year before.<\/p>\n

She’s said she’s been treated for conditions including endometriosis, Ehlers-Danlos syndromes, Sjogren’s syndrome and mast cell activation syndrome.<\/p>\n

She hinted she was now also being treated for lupus and leukaemia by tagging the Lupus Research Alliance as well as the Leukaemia and Lymphoma Society in her latest post.<\/p>\n

One of the videos shared by Halsey show her receiving treatment in a hospital, and in her new song, she sings about “poison” in her blood and starting treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There are multiple types of leukaemia, which is a type of cancer that affects white blood cells.<\/p>\n

The NHS says it’s not known what causes leukaemia and the disease can leave patients more susceptible to infections and feeling run down. <\/p>\n

It’s normally treated with chemotherapy.<\/p>\n

The other condition she hinted at, lupus, is complicated and poorly understood, according to the NHS, which says it affects many different parts of the body and can be life-threatening.<\/p>\n

Selena Gomez has previously spoken about her lupus diagnosis<\/a>, which she says she needed a kidney transplant for in 2017.<\/p>\n

There are some types of lupus that just affect skin, but the term is usually used to describe a more severe form of the condition – lupus erythematosus (SLE).<\/p>\n

That affects many parts of the body, including the skin, joints and internal organs.<\/p>\n

Lots of people can have the condition for a long time without knowing before they get a sudden flare-up.<\/p>\n

The symptoms include extreme tiredness, rashes (especially on the face, wrists and hands) and joint pain and swelling.<\/p>\n

Even mild cases can be distressing and have a big impact on quality of life.<\/p>\n

But the symptoms can be similar to more common conditions so it’s often hard to diagnose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After sharing her story online on Tuesday, fans were quick to offer Halsey support. <\/p>\n

Her post was liked more than a million times and attracted thousands of comments.<\/p>\n
