Selena Gomez has announced that she will be taking a year long break after the end of her Revival World Tour to focus on maintaining her own health and happiness. The Kill Em With Kindness singer disclosed in a statement to People that after her lupus diagnosis in 2013, which she had undergone chemotherapy for, she has been dealing with a series of side effects such as panic attacks, anxiety and depression.
“I need to face this head on to ensure I am doing everything possible to be my best,” says Gomez. “I know I am not alone in sharing this, I hope others will be encouraged to address their own issues.”
2016 has been a big year for the 24-year old singer, who has been touring since May to promote her new album. This break is nothing but well deserved after months of performing and handling her own mental health, and Gomez should be applauded for her bravery in speaking up about her personal struggles.
