12 celebrities battling with serious medical conditions – this will shock you! (With Pictures)

8. Missy Elliott

Rapper, singer, and musical superstar Missy Elliott is known for her larger-than-life personality. While in the past she has been consistent with making music and creating some of the most animated videos, Elliott took a break from music. In 2011, she was diagnosed with Graves’ disease, which she discovered after almost crashing her car due to extreme leg pain. Elliott’s break from music lasted a few years, but fans were grateful for her eventual return to the music industry. Since her diagnosis and her break from music, Elliott has undergone treatment and made her comeback with songs, “WTF” and “Pep Rally”. She’s also performed with Katy Perry during the Super Bowl XLIX halftime show.
