Halsey has addressed fans who walked out of their concert after they spoke out against the US Supreme Court overturning abortion rights.

The singer delivered an emphatic speech calling onfans to fight for reproductive rights following the scrapping of Roe v Wade during a gig on Sunday (26 June) in Phoenix, Arizona.

Halsey told the 20,000-strong crowd: “This has been happening for a very long f**king time.

“I know that we want to sit at home and we want to wait for some revolutionary to come along, to make a difference, but no one is f**king coming.”

She added: “Nobody is f**king coming. It is up to every single one of you, myself, every single person in this building to do our f**king part to protect bodily autonomy and bodily integrity. To protect medical privacy.”

As fans cheered, Halsey began chanting “my body”, with the audience shouting back “my choice”.

But according to one concert-goer, not all of their fans were thrilled about Halsey’s messaging.

“The amount of people who just walked out of the Halsey concert after ‘Nightmare’ when she spoke about abortion was sickening. Fight for what is right,” the fan tweeted.

Halsey was less than impressed.

“Downside of doing outdoor venues: no door to hit them on the way out,” she tweeted on Tuesday (28 June).
