As they reflected on Jagger’s death, Halsey, 27, confessed in Saturday’s heartbreaking message that “this has been the worst week of my life.”
The singer said they had expected for Jagger to be “old and rickety and grumpy” upon his deathbed — “Unfortunately that is not how it happened for us.”
“Jagger was 5 years old and yesterday we lost him to a progressive condition called Myelomalacia. It is sudden and uncommon and unfair with a catastrophic prognosis,” they noted.
