The singer behind the global hits ‘Chandelier’ and ‘Titanium’ has revealed that she is suffering from a neurological disease.
In a tweet on Friday, Sia said that she is experiencing chronic pain due to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
“I just wanted to say to those of you suffering from pain, whether physical or emotional, I love you, keep going,” Sia tweeted.
“Pain is demoralizing, and you’re not alone,” she added.
