AN AMERICAN singer has opened up about her decision to perform on stage just hours after suffering a miscarriage.

21-year-old Halsey, whose real name is Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, told Rolling Stone about the horrific ordeal that took place in her hotel room a few hours before she was set to perform in Chicago last year.

“I’m like, ‘I have to cancel this show!’” the singer said.

“And everyone’s kind of like, ‘Well, it’s Vevo LIFT, and it’s three million impressions, so ...’ No one knew what to do.”

The electro-pop artist told Rolling Stone that after she made the shocking decision to go ahead with the performance, she took two strong painkillers and sent her assistant to buy her some adult diapers

“It’s the angriest performance that I’ve ever done in my life,” Halsey said.

Halsey was nominated for Favourite Breakthrough Artist at this year’s People’s Choice Awards.

“That was the moment of my life where I thought to myself, ‘I don’t feel like a fu**ing human being anymore.’

“This thing, this music, Halsey, whatever it is that I’m doing, took precedence and priority over every decision that I made regarding this entire situation from the moment I found out until the moment it went wrong. I walked offstage and went into the parking lot and just started throwing up.”

The up and coming star admitted it was her choice to perform that night and blamed the miscarriage on her hectic lifestyle.

“I wasn’t drinking,” Halsey said.

“I wasn’t doing drugs. I was fu**ing overworked — in the hospital every couple of weeks because I was dehydrated, needing bags of IVs brought to my greenroom. I was anaemic, I was fainting. My body just broke the fu** down.”
