Selena Gomez is taking an indefinite break from her world tour in order to focus on getting well while she continues to fight her lupus battle. The Come & Get It singer was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease in 2014 and subsequently checked into a rehab facility to receive treatments and undergo chemotherapy. Gomez didn’t reveal her secret until last October when she released her album Revival, and the 24-year-old has been promoting the record since May by performing concerts as part of her Revival Tour. “As many of you know, around a year ago I revealed that I have lupus, an illness that can affect people in different ways,” Gomez tells People in a statement. “I’ve discovered that anxiety, panic attacks and depression can be side effects of lupus, which can present their own challenges.
