Halsey is opening up about one of the most vulnerable chapters of her life.
The 29-year-old singer, who revealed in 2024 that she had been diagnosed with lupus and a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder, recently gave fans a raw update about her health journey. The rare blood-related condition, which causes an overproduction of white blood cells, often requires chemotherapy treatments — something the “Without Me” star is currently navigating.
“Just coming on here to give you guys a speed round of updates,” Halsey began in a TikTok posted on September 25. “Just did another few sessions of chemo, had a new port placed.”
In the clip, Halsey appeared with medical tape visible across her collarbone and chest, a reminder of the ongoing treatments. She later explained that while fans often see her energetic online, what they don’t see is the toll recovery takes behind the scenes.
can’t wait to be in there soon!

“I also can’t stand for like a week or more,” she wrote in response to a fan whose husband undergoes similar treatment for lupus and blood cancer. “You guys see me between treatment where I have energy. The time flies by when I’m recovering so it doesn’t seem like as long, but it’s definitely a while.”
Despite the challenges, Halsey kept her sense of solidarity and humor, adding, “Shout out to your hubby for being a badass and sharing duel diagnosis with me! Much love to both of you!”
But health updates weren’t the only reason Halsey checked in. The Grammy nominee is also preparing for her highly anticipated Back to Badlands tour. “We just put the Back to Badlands show together, and it’s going to be unbelievable,” she teased. “So amazing. My birthday’s in a couple of days. I’m so busy I haven’t even honestly thought about it at all.”

The milestone tour will see Halsey revisiting her fan-favorite debut album. “We start rehearsals very, very soon, and I’m so excited. I’m bringing back a kind of like really fun, nostalgic little references from the very Badlands tour. I am playing the entire album, plus bunch of other extra fun ones.”
Fortunately, Halsey isn’t facing her health battles or her career milestones alone. She has her fiancé, actor Avan Jogia, by her side. The couple got engaged in September 2024, and Halsey has been open about how strong and supportive their relationship is.
“There’s nothing I could ever bring up that would freak him out,” she shared on Call Her Daddy last fall. “There’s no conversation we can’t have. He’s so solution-oriented, everything between the two of us, it’s always with the goal with solution and bettering.”
