Halsey has recently said that for months she has not looked at herself in the mirror, due to her illnesses, which she made public in June of this year. The singer revealed that she has been diagnosed with lupus and with CTCL (cutaneous T-cell lymphoma), a type of cancer that originates in white blood cells (T lymphocytes).
"I'm sorry, but I'm going to say something heavy and intense. I'm debating with myself if I should say it or not. I felt terribly ugly when I was sick. I couldn't see myself. I couldn't see myself in the mirror, only when I had to put the lenses on. This went on for months," she told Paper magazine.
"I didn't know myself. I didn't want to see myself. It was terrible."
Halsey has previously reacted to the behavior of her fans, saying that they treat the singer very badly.
"My fans are definitely meaner to me than anyone else on the planet. I'm not talking about everyone, of course. But there has been a small portion that has treated me horribly and now it seems that most have just stuck around and occasionally say how much they hate me and how bad I am. It is difficult for me to interact in a space that lacks kindness, sympathy, patience, or human honesty and decency. Especially, after years of hiding from interactions out of fear that exactly this would happen. I don't know. I almost lost my life", said Halsey.
"I will not say things that do not make me happier. Spiritually, I can't handle this. When I got sick, the only thing I thought about was to get better, to be part of this again (referring to music)". She added that she is now crawling into a dark hole and that she regretted coming back.
The singer of "Closer" returned to music with her songs "The End" and "Lucky". She shared that she shaved her head 4 times because she wanted to do something like that and another time because she got sick. "The End" also details her challenges with health, where the singer says: "A few years pass and the doctors say that I am sick; first it was my brain; now a skeleton in pain."
In June of this year, Halsey spoke about her condition, saying that she is "lucky to be alive". She tagged "Lupus Research Alliance" and "Leukemia and Lymphoma Society" in her post and people understood the artist's health problems.
In a series of photos and videos posted on social media, Halsey said she feels like 'an old lady'. "To cut it short: I'm lucky to be alive," wrote the singer, also announcing that she will bring a new album.
The artist, whose real name is Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, has spoken before about her health problems, stating that she has been sick all her life. In 2022 she revealed that her health had deteriorated while she was pregnant with her son, Ender.
