4. Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez had to cancel her Australian and Asian tour in December 13 due to the complications that arose from lupus-related health problems. The singer had to take some time off and focus on her health.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system attacks healthy tissue. The disease causes inflammation and can wreck havoc by attacking kidneys, lungs, heart, brain and other parts of the body.

Complications can range from nausea, vomiting, headaches, dizziness, changes in behaviour and blood clotting. People with lupus are more prone to various types of infections, and are at a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases and cancer.

Lupus in and of itself is not deadly, but the complications it can cause most certainly are. Selena Gomez is not the only celebrity with this disease. The list of celebrities who have lupus includes Lady Gaga, Toni Braxton, Nick Cannon and Seal.
