Halsey made a vibrant return to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on February 13, where the multi-talented artist discussed various personal milestones, including their upcoming tour, recent engagement, and the challenges that shaped their new album, The Great Impersonator.
During the interview, Halsey shared their enthusiasm for touring, expressing a strong desire to be back on stage after several years away due to a series of life events, including the COVID-19 pandemic, their pregnancy, and health issues. “I love touring,” Halsey remarked. “It’s hard to get me home, to be honest.” They reflected on a grueling eight-year touring schedule before facing a long hiatus.
Adding a personal touch, Fallon congratulated Halsey on their engagement to actor Avan Jogia. Halsey shared a charming story about how Jogia proposed during a surprise trip to Barcelona, recounting the moment on a boat where he playfully asked, “What’s a little bit of marriage between friends?” to which Halsey replied with excitement, “Yeah, I’ll do a little bit of marriage with you. I would prefer to do a lot of it.”
Their latest album, The Great Impersonator, has resonated deeply with fans, marking Halsey’s first No. 1 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart since its restructuring in 2022. Halsey revealed that much of the album was written during a challenging time in their life, particularly after being diagnosed with lupus and chronic leukemia while caring for a one-year-old. Fortunately, they shared that they are now healthy and eager to reconnect with their audience through music.
Excitement is building for the “For My Last Trick” tour, scheduled to kick off on May 10, 2025, in Concord, CA. The tour will cover 32 cities, showcasing Halsey’s electrifying performance style. Halsey teased that the show will be quite dynamic, saying, “I think people are usually pretty surprised when they come to see me in concert.” With a noted theme of magic, they humorously called themselves a “magician’s assistant,” adding a light-hearted twist to the conversation.
In support of The Great Impersonator, Halsey is bringing along an impressive lineup of select guests, including Evanescence and Alvvays, among others. Fans are encouraged to take part in presale opportunities starting now, leading up to the general ticket sale set for February 21.
As Halsey looks ahead at their career and personal life, their determination and resilience shine through, reminding fans of the redemptive power of art and the excitement of new beginnings.
This news not only epitomizes Halsey’s journey through adversity to triumph but also invites fans to share in their upcoming adventures.
