Singer Halsey has talked about suffering a miscarriage while on tour.

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, external, the 21-year-old talked about how it happened hours before a Vevo gig.

"I'm like, 'I have to cancel this show.' And everyone's kind of like, 'Well, it's Vevo LIFT, and it's three million impressions, so...'

Halsey said she took some pain killers, wore an adult nappy and went on to perform.

"It's the angriest performance that I've ever done in my life," she says.

"That was the moment of my life where I thought to myself, 'I don't feel like a human being any more.'

"This thing, this music, Halsey, whatever it is that I'm doing, took precedence and priority over every decision that I made regarding this entire situation from the moment I found out until the moment it went wrong.

"I walked offstage and went into the parking lot and just started throwing up."

Halsey said that no-one forced her to do the gig.

"I had a choice, I want to be a mum more than I want to be a pop star. More than I want to be anything in the world."

She told the magazine that she wasn't sure why she miscarried, but she does blame herself.

"I beat myself up for it, because I think that the reason it happened is just the lifestyle I was living.

"I wasn't drinking. I wasn't doing drugs. I was overworked - in the hospital every couple of weeks because I was dehydrated, needing bags of IVs brought to my green room.

"I was anaemic, I was fainting. My body just broke down."

Halsey's debut album Badlands went to number nine on the Official Album Chart and second spot in America.

The New Jersey singer is currently touring through North America before an appearance at V Festival next month.
