Fans and followers took to the comments section to lend words of support for the singer. 

One wrote: "Sending love to Halsey and anyone else on here dealing with chronic illness. You are so valid and so loved/supported."

Another referred back to a tweet Halsey posted in 2017 where they similarly spoke out about their battles with chronic illness.

"October 18 2017, @halsey tweeted “Touring with a chronic illness is equal parts challenging and rewarding. What aches my body, warms my heart. Love u guys," they said.

"Halsey being like “i’ve been in and out of the hospital because of chronic illness so sorry if i’m mia” after going to coachella is noa culture (being sick and powering through to do one fun thing and then needing to rest for two weeks)," another wrote.

Halsey revealed on Instagram that they underwent surgery just three days before the 64th Annual Grammy Award's red carpet.

"The last time I attended the Grammys was 2017 and it was three days after I had my first endometriosis surgery. I walked the carpet with my stitches still in," they reflected.

The singer asked fans to 'be gentle,' noting how 'fragile' they were feeling.

At The Endometriosis Foundation 2018's Blossom Ball, Halsey spoke out about their battle with the condition.

The star first discovered they had endometriosis after suffering a miscarriage.
