Halsey is reflecting on their two year transformation following their health diagnosis.
“Hey. I just wanna say; I looked and felt like this two years ago and every step forward I have come since then is a miracle,” Halsey, 30, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, January 18. (Halsey goes by she/they pronouns.)
Halsey shared a series of recent photos, showing the singer holding up an iPhone revealing a selfie of her from two years ago. In two of the pictures taken recently, Halsey smiled and laughed as they held up the previous image.
“I’m figuring it out on my own time, thank you to everyone who has been along for the ride,” Halsey continued. “Also I’m cute as f— now, so that’s great. 🤍.”
Halsey shared in June 2024 that she was “lucky to be alive” following a secret health battle. Halsey explained that her health scare inspired new song “The End.”
“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,” Halsey sings. “And at first, it was my brain / then a skeleton in pain / And I don’t like to complain, but I’m saying sorry.”
She continues, “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.”
Hours later, Halsey shared that they had been diagnosed with Lupus SLE and a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder two years before. “Both of which are currently being managed or in remission; and both of which I will likely have for the duration of my life,” Halsey wrote via Instagram at the time.
She continued, “After a rocky start, I slowly got everything under control with the help of amazing doctors. After 2 years, I’m feeling better and I’m more grateful than ever to have music to turn to.”
Halsey shared that she was grateful for her fans supporting the song. “Thank you guys for the unbelievable amount of love for ‘The End’ and the support you’ve shown me since its release,” Halsey concluded. “I realize everyone is catching up with news I’ve held in for a very long time, and I wasn’t sure how much I wanted to share.”
Halsey gushed that she “can’t wait to get back where [they] belong” and perform for fans again.
