Halsey Powers Through Facial Infection at Rock in Rio After Calling on “100 Witches” for Help

Halsey performed for 75 minutes at her Rock in Rio debut despite battling a facial infection. Initially, she joked on social media that she required the aid of "100 witches" to recover from her illness within 24 hours. She later realized her condition was not serious. After seeking medical attention, she confirmed she had a facial infection.

By Sunday, she seemed ready to perform. At the festival's Palco Mundo stage, she embraced her heavier musical side, playing songs from her discography, including "Nightmare," "Experiment on Me," and a rockier version of "Closer." Halsey encouraged the audience to form a mosh pit and even descended from the stage to greet fans. The performance concluded with "Without Me."
