Los Angeles, Aug 7: Singer-songwriter Halsey recently shared a deeply personal and harrowing experience from her early career. During an appearance on the SHE MD podcast, the 29-year-old artist opened up about suffering a miscarriage while performing on stage at the age of 20, according to 'People' magazine.
Halsey revealed the traumatic incident, saying, "I miscarried during a concert. I started miscarrying before the show. And I was in a really tough position because it was really early on in my career and there was a lot attached to the show."
She faced immense pressure as the event was backed by a corporate partner, a significant media entity, and an eager crowd of a thousand fans who had waited all day to see her.
In an effort to continue the show, Halsey made the difficult decision to wear an adult diaper. "They'd only asked me to perform for I think 45 minutes. And I didn't really have that much music out, to be honest with you, so I don't know that I could have played longer," she said. Despite her condition, she completed the performance.
After leaving the stage, Halsey was physically ill and threw up in the parking lot. "I went to a hotel and I was sick all night. I remember sitting in the bathtub because I just didn't know what to do with all the blood," she recalled. The following morning, she had to board a flight to Canada, still bleeding and struggling to stay on her feet.
The concert was also filmed, which Halsey found difficult to watch later. Reflecting on the footage, she said, "It's funny because when I look at it now, I see myself just white and sweating, and my voice is different. My voice is guttural. I sound and look like a different person. And I just remember feeling like, 'I don't know who to talk to about this.' Because at the time, the only stories about miscarriage that I had heard were from women who were happily married."
