Poor Selenators 🙁 Their queen, Selena Gomez has recently shared the news that she will be taking time off from her career to focus on her health. She revealed last year that she had been suffering from Lupus disease, causing her to have anxiety attacks and depression. Lupus is an immune disease that affects over an estimated 5 million people. Symptoms of the illness can range from swollen joints to hair loss.
The singer has had to cancel her tour, which would have dominated Europe and South America till the end of 2016. Selena previously tended to her illness by admitting herself to rehab for chemotherapy in 2013. Fans may have also anticipated the sudden decision when she reflected over social media stating that she had felt “unconnected” to herself and her music. The post has since been deleted.
Her representative has since reported to Billboard that proceeds from each concert ticket will be donated to the Lupus Research Alliance.
Hope you starting feeling better soon Selena!
