Halsey continues with her Back to Badlands tour, even after a sudden health crisis.
During her stop in Boston, the singer said she ended up in the emergency room after her performance on November 2.
Posting a photo to Instagram with a towel around her head, she admitted: “Boston, I’ll be honest with you, after the show last night I was in the ER until 6am this morning.”
She didn’t go into detail about the “minor medical emergency,” but reassured fans, writing that she’s “fine now and ready to rock tonight!”
Explaining that she might take it easy on stage, she thanked the doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital, calling them “the absolute best team I’ve ever met,” before hyping the second show: “LETS ROCK TONIGHT!”
Her determination comes as she continues to balance life on the road with long-term health issues.
A few weeks earlier, Halsey opened up on TikTok about her recent treatment for lupus and T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder.
“I just finished a few more chemo sessions,” she shared on September 25, adding that she had “a new port put in.” She also showed bandages on her chest where the port had been inserted to aid the treatments.
Despite all this, she launched her Back to Badlands Tour in mid-October, celebrating the 10th anniversary of her debut album, Badlands.
She kicked things off with the first of three sold-out shows at Hollywood Forever Cemetery on October 14, featuring early favorites and other notable songs.
The tour passes through New York, Toronto, London, Paris and Sydney.
But touring isn’t the only struggle she faces. Halsey is also dealing with label issues.
Speaking to Zane Lowe, she said she isn’t allowed to release any new music at the moment.
“I can’t make an album right now. I’m not allowed to,” she revealed, referencing how her 2024 project The great imitator was received. She said it sold 100,000 copies in its first week, a number she said was strong, but added that the label expected “manic numbers.”
She continued with the comparison, saying, “If my record comes out and sells 100,000 copies the first week, with no radio play, no real support, and the comparison is, why isn’t she doing Taylor Swift songs? Are you kidding me?”
She further defended the work, also noting, “I made an experimental concept album about how I almost died… For the other types of artists who make the kind of music I make, I’m f–king killing it.”
Even with career hurdles and personal health issues, Halsey remains committed to her music and her fans.
And as she continues her tour, audiences are rallying behind her resilience, something she demonstrates on stage night after night.
