Halsey has revealed that rapper Mac Miller's death in 2018 due to an accidental overdose inspired her to leave an unhealthy relationship.
"This is a terrible thing to say because I think it puts a positive connotation on a heinously tragic event, but it gave me the courage and the faith to leave the relationship I was in," Halsey said, without naming the person she was referring to.
"It gave me that real f**king reality check that I needed and I think it probably did the same for a lot of other people too." the alt-pop star said while speaking on Dax Sheppard's "Armchair Expert" podcast.
"I was lucky enough to be in a position where I was like, 'Okay, cool I'm not ruining my life yet,' but I never would've expected some of the people that I know and loved and lost—to see them go down that path so aggressively and so rapidly. I kind of recognized the spiral early and was like, 'Alright, now I know,'" she added.
The 26 year old "Graveyard" singer also said that only after she left the relationship was she able to work on getting sober and managing her bipolar disorder.
