Sia<\/a><\/strong>wants those fighting chronic illness to know they’re not alone. <\/p>\n

The notoriously private singer, known for concealing her identity onstage with larger-than-life wigs, shared an update about her health on Friday. <\/p>\n

Sia said via Twitter<\/a> that she is currently “suffering with chronic pain, a neurological disease [and] Ehlers-Danlos,” a genetic syndrome that weakens the body’s connective tissue. <\/p>\n

“I just wanted to say to those of you suffering from pain, whether physical or emotional, I love you, keep going. Life is f–king hard. Pain is demoralizing, and you’re not alone,” she wrote. <\/p>\n

Sia’s heartfelt message was immediately met with an outpouring of support from her fans and fellow chronic illness warriors alike. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

This time last year, Sia celebrated eight years of sobriety. She tweeted at the time, “Eight years sober today. I love you, keep going. You can do it.”<\/p>\n

In a 2013 interview with<\/a> Billboard<\/em>, the “Chandelier” songstress discussed her addiction to Vicodin and Oxycodone, as well as alcohol. It was until doctors diagnosed her with a thyroid disease that she received proper care and got sober. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

More recently, Sia wished a very happy birthday to her prot\u00e9g\u00e9 and frequent music video co-star, Maddie Ziegler<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

“To my dear @maddieziegler,” she gushed on Instagram<\/a>, “you are the kindest most down to earth, egoless stupendously smart and silly little big I could ever have dreamed to godmother, collaborate and co-regulate with. I miss you and can’t wait till you’re back so I can prank you in non PTSD inducing ways!”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

During a recent interview with E! News, Maddie had nothing but wonderful things to say about her famous mentor, gushing, “She’s like my godmother. We have the best time ever. The day I met her we clicked and ever since then it’s literally history. Now we’re inseparable. We spend so much time together. She’s really the most inspiring woman I know.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
