Solange says she was “fighting for my life” while recording her last album.
The singer, and sister of Beyoncé, celebrated the two-year-anniversary of her 2019 project, “When I Get Home” with a personal note to fans.
“When I first started creating ‘When I Get Home,’ I was quite literally fighting for my life …in and out of hospitals … with depleting health and broken spirits asking God to send me a sign I would not only survive but that if he let me make it out alive, I would step into the light, whatever that meant,” she posted on Instagram.
She did not elaborate on her ailment, but she previously revealed her struggles with an autonomic nerve disorder in 2017, which forced her to cancel concerts. She referred to her album as the “the project that literally changed my life,” and said she’ll be “celebrating all week long.”
An exclusive director’s cut of the album’s accompanying art flick is available via the Criterion Channel, while BlackPlanet is also posting content about the project.
