Selena Gomez Reveals Why She Kept Low This Past Summer

I’m very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn’t promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of. So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health. I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you. Until then I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery. And finally, there aren’t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis. Lupus continues to be very misunderstood but progress is being made.

Selena Gomez has revealed why she has been keeping low this past Summer. The singer has revealed to her fans that she underwent a kidney transplant earlier this Summer.

Due to complications with her ongoing battle with Lupus, Selena had to get a new kidney, which was donated to her by one of her best friend’s Francia Raisa. Because of this, Selena was unable to promote her music or do much in the way of promoting so she could recover.

Kudos to Selena for sharing her story. I am so glad to see that she is doing okay now!
