World-renowned musician Halsey has revealed she's 'lucky to be alive' after announcing a devastating health diagnosis on social media.

The 29-year-old singer - best known for collaborating on hits like 'Closer' with The Chainsmokers, as well as her own chart-topping single 'Without Me' - took to Instagram last night, where she hinted at having been dealt a brutal blow to her health.

Along with a series of videos - several of which saw the star receiving infusions whilst breaking down in tears - she lifted the lid on her recent ailments.

"Long story short, i’m Lucky to be alive," she penned in the caption. "short story long, i wrote an album. it begins with The End. out now."

Despite the singer - real name Ashley Nicolette Frangipane - not yet having disclosed the full nature of her diagnosis, she tagged both The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the Lupus Research Alliance in her post (which contains some strong language).

In one of the heartbreaking videos - for which she has received mass support from her 31.3 million followers - Halsey can be heard telling viewers: "I feel like an old lady."

Rubbing her legs in pain, she continued: "I told myself I'm giving myself two more years to be sick.

"At 30, I'm having a rebirth and I'm not gonna be sick and I'm gonna look super hot and have lots of energy and I'm just gonna get to re-do my 20s in my 30s."

Several videos saw the star receiving transfusions. (Instagram/@iamhalsey)

In the subsequent video, the New Jersey-born star could be seen hooked up to a machine whilst in hospital, where she filmed a selfie clip, telling her fans that she was currently enduring 'day one of treatment'.

A third clip also saw her enjoying some much-needed time in a recording studio as she recorded her new single whilst strumming a guitar.

Another, more harrowing addition to the photo collection saw her sending a friend a notes page link titled 'the f*****g end of the world' via text.

Naturally, thousands of messages from both celebrity pals and devoted fans came flooding in, showing the singer their support.

Supermodel Heidi Klum also penned: "Sending you love, strength and healing."

"Long story short, thank you for sharing your voice and vulnerability with the world. Short story long, we are here for you always @iamhalsey," The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society posted.
