Don’t Tell Musicians What to Do
Only hours after spending the night in the ER, Halsey took the stage for her second night at Boston’s MGM Music Hall.
During the performance, as Halsey was addressing the crowd, a male audience member shouted, “Stop talking and play.”
The singer quickly fired back, “You think you’re tough shit because you’re from Boston? I’m from Jersey, baby. I’ll whoop your ass. My dad’s from Boston, my mom’s from Jersey—that basically makes me a fucking demon. I’m gonna play whatever the fuck I wanna play. In case you didn’t hear me correctly, I almost fucking died to be on this stage. I’m going to play whatever the fuck I wanna play.”
Later, Halsey took to X to share her thoughts, writing, “I’ve been polite but won’t be caught dead letting a man tell me what I should play in my set. There’s always one.”
Health Update
Yesterday, Halsey updated fans on her health, revealing that she spent Sunday night in the emergency room after her first show in Boston. On Instagram Stories, she explained that she had a “minor medical emergency” following the first of two concerts.
Although she remained in the hospital ER until six in the morning, Halsey reassured fans, saying, “I am A-Okay now and ready to rock tonight!”
While Halsey did not specify what caused her ER visit, she has been undergoing chemotherapy treatments recently after being diagnosed with lupus and a rare T-Cell lymphoproliferative disorder in 2022.
On Instagram, she expressed her gratitude to the medical staff at Mass General, calling them “the absolute best team I’ve ever met,” and added, “I am so so grateful!”
