"I'm playing a handful of intimate venues with a string ensemble this summer in partnership with Hard Rock Live to benefit LGBTQ+ organizations @OutrightIntl & @HRC," shared the performer on Twitter.


According to the announcement, the performances are scheduled for June 24, June 30, and July 2; with all concert proceeds and donations benefiting Hard Rock Heals, Outright International, and the Human Rights Campaign.

Each organization works to benefit the LGBTQ community in different ways.

The Hard Rock Cafe developed the Hard Rock Heals Foundation to provide grants and assistance to global health and wellness, disaster relief, and humanitarian causes.

The Human Rights Campaign is also a global organization that has a mission statement " to ensure that all LGBTQ+ people, and particularly those who are trans, people of color, and HIV+, are treated as full and equal citizens."

On its website, Outreach International states that they work to ensure "human rights for LGBTIQ people everywhere." After Halsey shared the announcement on Friday, they responded by replying to her Twitter announcement, writing: "Thank you, @halsey, for choosing to support our work. We can't wait for these performances!"

The "Without Me" singer has spoken openly about her views on identity and support of gender expression throughout her career.

After updating her pronouns to she/they on Twitter and Instagram in March 2021, she candidly spoke out about her perception of gender in an Instagram post shared shortly before the birth of her son Ender, 20 months, who she shares with partner Alev Aydin.

"I've been thinking lots about my body. It's strange to watch yourself change so quickly," wrote the "Graveyard" singer. "I thought pregnancy would give me very strong, binary feelings about 'womanhood', but truly it has leveled my perception of gender entirely."

"My sensitivity to my body has made me hyper-aware of my humanness, and that's all," continued Halsey.

She added: "I cook a lot, sleep even more, and read lotssss of books. I miss my family. And you guys too! 🧚🏼‍♂️ bye for now."
