Pop singer Halsey says she is ‘lucky to be alive’ amid health struggles

Halsey, a popular singer of pop music, has shared about her health difficulties and stated that she feels fortunate to still be alive. She has also revealed that she will be releasing a new album.

In the blog post, Ashley Frangipane, who's real name is 29-year-old, shared some footage of herself while undergoing medical treatment for some health problems. Without specifying any diagnosis, she referred to the Lupus Research Alliance and Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in her post, and generously donated to both charities.

She recently shared a video on her Instagram account stating that she feels like an elderly woman. She promised herself that she will only allow herself to be sick for two more years. As she turns 30, she plans to have a fresh start and not let sickness hold her back. She wants to be healthy, full of energy, and look stunning. She believes that she can live her twenties again in her thirties.

In her social media post, she stated: "To make a long story short, I consider myself fortunate to still be breathing. However, if I were to elaborate on the details, I actually composed an entire album." One of the tracks has already been made available for listening, and it is called The End.

Renowned for her candidly expressive pop compositions, Frangipane has achieved immense triumph after her rise to fame in 2015 with her first album Badlands. All four of her studio albums have attained the top positions on the US charts, either No.1 or No.2. She has also claimed the No.1 spot on the singles chart in the US with her hits Without Me and her joint work with the Chainsmokers called Closer.

The second tune also made it to the top spot in the United Kingdom, alongside another teamwork project named Eastside, produced by Benny Blanco and performed by Khalid. Throughout her professional life, Frangipane has obtained more than 50 billion streams over all platforms combined.

In the past, she has dealt with numerous health problems. In 2022, she posted on Instagram, revealing that she has been sick for a long period of time. After eight years of consulting doctors, she finally received a proper diagnosis of her conditions. During the time of uncertainty, she was labelled as crazy, anxious, and lazy, by some. Nonetheless, she made significant changes to her lifestyle to manage her health issues.

In the blog post, she shared that she was told by doctors that she had the connective tissue condition Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, as well as immune disorders called Sjögren’s syndrome and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). Additionally, she revealed that she had been diagnosed with POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), which impacts both heart rate and the nervous system. In the past, she also received a diagnosis of endometriosis.
