Halsey found out they were sick on their 28th birthday.

In a PAPER Magazine cover story interview, the pop star (who uses she/they pronouns), 29, also recalled receiving a daunting diagnosis on her birthday — and how her health infiltrated her music on their forthcoming album The Great Impersonator.

“I had a tiny little baby and I was on my tour, and it was my 28th birthday when I got the confirmation of my T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder diagnosis,” Halsey told the publication.
