AceShowbiz - Halsey took to Twitter on Thursday, July 28 to thank fans for their support after she shared a tragic miscarriage story. Fans of the 21-year-old singer are showing their support on Twitter with the hashtag #ProudOfHalsey.
"Those of you who have tweeted me kind things, thank you for your support," the "Colors" hitmaker wrote, "Those of you turning this into an opportunity to bully me: I'd say I hope you understand one day but I wouldn't wish this upon anyone. It was a year ago and I am growing past it and I am looking forward to the possibilities the future will bring me in having my own family."
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Halsey revealed that last year, she suffered a miscarriage and had to perform hours later for a show in Chicago. The "New Americana" singer got pregnant during her 2015 "Badlands" tour, but the stress of traveling and overworking her body likely led to her losing her baby.
"I felt like I was suffocating reading that article," Halsey told the interviewer of reading a Rolling Stone article about planned parenthood and miscarriage, "Like someone put a shopping bag over my head. I didn't want to meet you at all. I was really terrified of you, because I knew as soon as I saw you, I was going to need to tell you that last year on tour I got pregnant."
Halsey then recalled being in a hotel room thinking about her pregnancy prior to the miscarriage, "What happens? Do I lose my record deal? Do I lose everything? Or do I keep [the pregnancy]? What are the fans going to think? What are the moms going to think? What is the Midwest going to think? What's f**king everyone going to think?"
"I'm like, 'I have to cancel this show!' And everyone's kind of like, 'Well, it's Vevo LIFT, and it's 3 million impressions, so ...' No one knew what to do," Halsey shared. She then put on adult diaper and went for the show.
"It's the angriest performance that I've ever done in my life," she explained, "That was the moment of my life where I thought to myself, 'I don't feel like a f**king human being anymore.' This thing, this music, Halsey, whatever it is that I'm doing, took precedence and priority over every decision that I made regarding this entire situation from the moment I found out until the moment it went wrong. I walked offstage and went into the parking lot and just started throwing up."
"I beat myself up for it," she added, "Because I think that the reason it happened is just the lifestyle I was living. I wasn't drinking. I wasn't doing drugs. I was f**king overworked - in the hospital every couple of weeks because I was dehydrated, needing bags of IVs brought to my greenroom. I was anemic, I was fainting. My body just broke the f**k down."
Halsey told the interviewer, "I want to be a mom more than I want to be a pop star. More than I want to be anything in the world. I'm really scared of being alone. I'm not trying to upset you. I'm really sorry."
