Halsey is set to kick off her Back to Badlands Tour on October 14 in Los Angeles to celebrate the 10th anniversary of her groundbreaking debut album, Badlands (2015). This comes after the singer shared a recent health update with fans where she revealed that she is undergoing chemotherapy for a rare disorder while preparing for her tour.

The singer posted a TikTok video on September 25 where she explained,

"Just coming on here to give you guys a speed round of updates. Just did another few sessions of chemo, had a new port placed. We just put the Back to Badlands show together, and it's gonna be unbelievable, so amazing."

In 2024, Halsey publicly announced that she had been diagnosed with lupus and a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder back in 2022.
