Halsey is staying transparent with fans about her health, sharing an update about recent chemotherapy treatments Thursday (Sept. 25) in a candid TikTok.

The clip opens with the pop star chilling at home, noting that they wanted to “come on here to give you guys a speed round of updates” — the first of which had to do with Halsey’s ongoing battle with a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder. “Just did another few sessions of chemo,” the musician tells the camera before showing a small device attached to her collarbone and chest area. “Got a new port placed.”

Chemotherapy is a common way of treating lymphoproliferative disorders, according to Cleveland Clinic, and Halsey has previously been open about undergoing the intravenous procedure for her illness. The About-Face Beauty founder first revealed that they’d been diagnosed with the T-cell disorder, as well as lupus, in June 2024, and sang about experiencing severe health issues on album The Great Impersonator.

Lymphoproliferative disorders are conditions that affect white blood cells, including cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma. Some affect people’s immune systems, while others involve the uncontrollable multiplication of abnormal lymphocytes, according to Cleveland Clinic.

In the comments of her TikTok, Halsey discussed more about the side effects of chemo, sharing that it’s nearly impossible to even stand up “for like a week” after receiving the treatment. “You guys see me between treatment where I have energy,” they added. “The time flies by when I’m recovering so it doesn’t seem like as long, but it’s definitely a while.”

Elsewhere in the video, the hitmaker talked about her upcoming birthday — “I’ve been so busy I honestly haven’t even thought about it at all,” shared Halsey, who will turn 31 on Sept. 29 — and gearing up to hit the road again this fall. After finishing up the For My Last Trick Tour in July, the Americana star announced plans to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of debut album Badlands with a Back to Badlands trek kicking off Oct. 14.

Watch Halsey’s update below.

Former Little Mix member Jesy Nelson had some major news to share on Friday morning (Sept. 26). Four months after she and partner of three years Zion Foster welcomed their twins, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe, the singer revealed that they are engaged to be married.

“Just got engaged to my best friend,” she wrote along with crying eyes and engagement ring emoji. In the surfside pic, a smiling Nelson, 34, holds up her hand to show off the bling as Foster plants a sweet kiss on her cheek, the sun setting over the waves behind the happy couple. A second snap zooms in on the impressive round-cut diamond ring set in a band that appears to have more inset diamonds.

The couple, who began dating in 2022, have a lot to celebrate after a trying 2025. In January, Nelson hinted that she was pregnant when she teased that she was “eating for 3 now,” sharing two months later that the identical babies were monochorionic/diamniotic twins — meaning they were sharing a placenta while having separate amniotic sacs.

“Normally, most twins will have two placentas that they feed off of, but when you have mono/di twins, that means your twins live off one placenta, which can lead to lots of complications,” Nelson explained in an emotional video at the time, adding that the dangerous condition meant her high-risk pregnancy was being closely monitored.

The babies arrived prematurely in May at 31 weeks, with Nelson saying at the time that they were “healthy and fighting strong!”

Nelson split with Little Mix in 2020 after a decade in the group, shortly after the girl group released their sixth studio album, Confetti. She’s since released the solo singles, “Boyz” with Nicki Minaj, as well as 2023’s “Bad Thing” and, in 2024, a collab with Foster on the song “Mine.”

Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” is now the sole longest-leading hit ever on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart as it adds a record-rewriting 15th week at No. 1 on the list dated Oct. 4.

The song surpasses Ace of Base’s “The Sign,” which ran up its 14-week reign consecutively from February through March 1994, for the longest No. 1 stay since the ranking began in October 1992.

“Ordinary,” on Atlantic Records, first topped Pop Airplay in June and has led for all but one week since; Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild” interrupted its No. 1 run earlier in September.

The Pop Airplay chart ranks songs by weekly plays on more than 150 mainstream top 40 radio stations monitored by Mediabase, with data provided to Billboard by Luminate.

Here’s a look at the longest leading Pop Airplay hits, all enduring smashes, from bops to ballads, over the chart’s 33-year history:

“Ordinary” previously dominated the all-genre, multimetric Billboard Hot 100 for 10 weeks and finished at No. 1 on the Songs of the Summer chart. Among its other coronations, it led the Billboard Global 200 for 10 weeks and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. for eight frames.

Warren recently discussed the song’s mass appeal with Billboard, saying, “When you write a song, you want it to apply to as many people as possible.”

All charts dated Oct. 4 will update Tuesday, Sept. 30, on Billboard.com.

The 2026 Grammy telecast is more than four months away, but the In Memoriam spot is already filling up. In fact, at least four music legends have died this year who could easily justify a separate spot on the show: Brian Wilson, Ozzy Osbourne, Sly Stone and Roberta Flack. (All four received lifetime achievement awards from the Recording Academy – Wilson as part of The Beach Boys; Osbourne as part of Black Sabbath.)

In recent years, the Grammys have put an extra spotlight on one or more recently deceased artists per year, sometimes as part of the In Memoriam spot and sometimes apart from it. Last year, Quincy Jones got a six-song tribute. In 2024, the In Memoriam segment included extended tributes to Tony Bennett, Sinéad O’Connor, Clarence Avant and Tina Turner.

In 2023, Loretta Lynn, Takeoff from Migos and Christine McVie from Fleetwood Mac got extra shine in the In Memoriam spot, as did Broadway legend Stephen Sondheim the year before. In 2021, Little Richard, Kenny Rogers, John Prine and Gerry Marsden of Gerry & the Pacemakers got extra attention in the In Memoriam spot. (The latter group had a hit in 1965 with Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” which was a natural for the spot.)

In 2020, Boyz II Men sang “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday” in tribute to basketball legend Kobe Bryant, who had died in a helicopter crash the morning of the Grammy ceremony. The In Memoriam spot that year put extra focus on Nipsey Hussle and Dr. John.

In addition to the four music legends named at the top of this article, the list of music greats who have died since the Grammy telecast on Feb. 2, 2024 includes songwriter Alan Bergman, who received a trustees award from the Recording Academy (the equivalent of a lifetime achievement award for behind-the-scenes talent) in 2013, along with his late wife, Marilyn Bergman.

Eddie Palmieri and Lalo Schifrin were both honored by the Latin Recording Academy. Palmieri received a lifetime achievement award in 2013; Schifrin was voted a trustees award in 2017.

Other noteworthy artists and behind-the-scenes talent who have died since the last Grammy telecast include Brett James, Bobby Hart, Jeannie Seely, Flaco Jimenez, Tom Lehrer, Cleo Laine, Chuck Mangione, Connie Francis, Bobby Sherman, Lou Christie, Rick Derringer, Charles Strouse, Johnny Rodriguez, Johnny Tillotson, Angie Stone, Alf Clausen and Robert John.

The roster also includes numerous people best known for their work as part of groups, including Rick Davies of Supertramp, Mark Volman of The Turtles, Clem Burke of Blondie, Jesse Colin Young of The Youngbloods, David Johansen of New York Dolls, Chris Jasper of The Isley Brothers, Brent Hinds of Mastodon, Bobby Whitlock of Derek and the Dominos, Walter Scott Jr. of The Whispers, Mick Ralphs of Bad Company and Mott the Hoople, Wayne Lewis of Atlantic Starr, Michael Sumler of Kool & the Gang, D’Wayne Wiggins of Tony! Toni! Tone!, and Les Binks of Judas Priest.

That is by no means a list of everyone of note who has died this year. For a fuller list, go here.

Award show producers are perennially criticized for leaving people out of the In Memoriam roll, but as you can see, there are always many names to contend with and only so much time in the spot. Not everybody can make it unless the segment runs for 25 minutes – in which people would complain the show was too long.

Who do you think will get extra love on the 68th annual Grammy Awards on Feb. 1? Osbourne, Wilson and Sly Stone seem like sure things, but we hope Flack isn’t overlooked just because she died so long ago (on Feb. 24, just three weeks after last year’s show). Flack made Grammy history in 1974, becoming the first artist to win back-to-back awards for record of the year.

Andra Day sang Flack’s “Killing Me Softly With His Song” on the BET Awards on June 9. (On that same show, Brittney Spencer performed in tribute to Angie Stone.) Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Yungblud and Nuno Bennencourt performed a three-song tribute to Osbourne on the MTV Video Music Awards on Sept. 7.

MGK is gearing up for a major fifth anniversary celebration of his homage to pop-punk, 2020’s Tickets to My Downfall. And he’s getting Saga Blade in on the action. In an Instagram post on Thursday (Sept. 25), Kelly roped his six-month-old daughter with former fiancée Megan Fox into the action in an adorable pic in which the little one is rocking a onesie emblazoned with a pink guitar while chilling out on the floor with a stuffed animal.

Kelly (born Colson Baker) and Fox welcomed Saga — whose face is obscured in the post — in March.

“5 years ago pop punk came back to life. the rest of this year we’re gonna be celebrating the 5 year anniversary of this album,” Kelly wrote in the post, which opens with the album’s cover shot of him standing near an empty swimming pool while sullenly holding a pink electric guitar with the LP’s name scrawled across the front. The album, which dropped on Sept. 25, 2020, topped the Billboard 200, giving MGK his first-ever No. 1 on the tally.

It spun off the singles, “Bloody Valentine,” which hit No. 50 on the Billboard Hot 100 and “My Ex’s Best Friend,” the blackbear collab that topped out at No. 20 on the Hot 100.

Kelly said that celebration will include the upcoming drop of five previously unreleased songs from the sessions that are being “mixed rn to release asap,” as well as a coffee table book of behind-the-scenes images, merch and a tour. “TICKETS TO MY DOWNFALL I LOVE YOU,” Kelly wrote.

The album’s producer and co-writer, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, was there for it, writing in comments, “Our baby is 5️⃣ years old.” Good pal and frequent collaborator Mod Sun also weighed in, saying, “I’ll look back on that chapter of life with u in the highest regard. Best friends vs the world forever n ever. Proud doesn’t do it justice.”

The rest of the reel included snaps from that era, including Barker pounding out some beats as Kelly looks on, the whole crew hanging in the studio, close-ups of Kelly playing the pink guitar and smoking what looks like a joint, another shot of Barker at his full kit and a cameo from Trippie Redd. The series ends with a text from Barker wishing MGK a “happy tickets anniversary my brother.”

“5 years later i still can’t believe it. living like a maniac gave us some really good songs [crying laughing emoji],” Kelly texted back. “change my life forever. love you big bro.”

In the meantime, Kelly is gearing up to launch the tour in support of his most recent album, Lost Americana, which is slated to kick off at the Grammy Museum L.A. Live in Los Angeles on Oct. 1.
