Selena Gomez announces she has lupus

Selena announces that she’s been on a break from singing.

"I was diagnosed with lupus, and I've been through chemotherapy. That's what my break was really about. I could've had a stroke," Gomez told the magazine in a cover story coming out Thursday.

Lupus is an inflammatory disease caused when the immune system attacks its own tissues, and basically her muscles were in pain. She mentioned she was worried about getting a stroke or her blood getting clogged.

Hopefully Selena feels much better now,and we’re excited for her new album, revival, which just came out a few days ago! Selena is an inspiration to us all, struggling with a disease but still going strong!
