Selena Steps Back
The beloved Selena Gomez is taking a break from music to recover from her ongoing battle with Lupus.
She’s suffering from side effects of the autoimmune disease including anxiety and depression, making performing every night on the Revival Tour difficult. It is unclear if the star will finish out her scheduled tour dates.
In a statement to People Magazine, Selena said, “I want to be proactive and focus on maintaining my health and happiness and have decided that the best way forward is to take some time off,” she continued. “Thank you to all my fans for your support. You know how special you are to me, but I need to face this head on to ensure I am doing everything possible to be my best. I know I am not alone by sharing this, I hope others will be encouraged to address their own issues.”
Beliebers, Lovatics, Swifties, Harmonizers, Directioners, Arianators, and Selenator’s everywhere have banded together in support of the artist. The hashtag #PrayForSelena is even trending on Twitter! We want the best for you too, Selena. We’ll have Revival on repeat until you’re back!
