Halsey Honours Juice WRLD For Release: ‘Life’s A Mess’

Pop singer-songwriter, Halsey is back to her love for body art. But, this one holds a special place in all our hearts. The singer took to social media to share her brand new tattoo – a sweet tribute to her friend and rapper, the late Juice WRLD.

Halsey took to Instagram to share a touching post revealing the tattoo. The heartfelt caption reads: “Juice was one of the greatest people I have ever known, and one of the most brilliant artists we will ever live to witness.” Of her feature on his posthumous album, she writes: “It means everything to me that I could be part of this album. I cried the first time that I heard it. With all the love in my heart.”

Halsey, who is known to have been great friends with Juice WRLD, as well as a close musical collaborator has spoken about the weight of his loss in the past. Opening up in an interview with Zane Lowe, she said “You realise everything is so futile.”

The late Juice WRLD tragically passed away after a drug overdose, in 2019. He was only 21 years old. Tributes poured out from every corner of the music industry in the wake of his loss. The young rapper was just getting started, being recognised by industry experts and fellow musicians as the next big thing.

Earlier this week, Juice WRLD’s estate announced the release of his posthumous album, “Legends Never Die“, slated for the 10th of July, 2020. ‘Life’s a Mess’, featuring Halsey is out now and is a collaboration between the two artists.
