Jessie J diagnosed with breast cancer as she announces surgery plans
Singer Jessie J has revealed she's been diagnosed with "early breast cancer" and plans to undergo surgery after her performance at this month's Summertime Ball. The 37 year old Price Tag singer shared in an Instagram video that she's spent a lot of her recent time "in and out of tests".
"I was diagnosed with early breast cancer," Jessie disclosed as she spoke directly to her fans in the video. "Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word 'early'.
"It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job. I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive tits and more music."
Jessie, whose full name is Jessica Cornish, said she made her diagnosis public to help her process the news, and to show solidarity with others who are going through a similar experience.
"I just wanted to be open and share it, " she expressed. "One, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard.
"I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. I'm an open book.
"It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse-that's the bit that kills me." She continued: "The timing of it has been mad but also beautiful and given me this incredible perspective in this time.
"But honestly I need to process it and talk about it and, I need a hug. You have loved me through all my good and hard times. And I don't want this to be any different."
Jessie J welcomed her son, Sky Safir Cornish Colman, into the world in 2023 after experiencing the heartache of a miscarriage in November 2021.
Throughout her life, Jessie has faced numerous health challenges; she was diagnosed with a cardiac condition at the age of eight, endured a minor stroke at 18, and temporarily lost her hearing in 2020.
Fans can next see Jessie perform live at Capital's Summertime Ball held at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, June 15.

Kylie Jenner teases construction work at mansion as she shows messages on walls
Kylie Jenner gave a glimpse at construction work that is underway at a house this week, with the photos believed to show inside one of her own properties in California Reality TV star Kylie Jenner gave a glimpse at construction work underway at a house this week. She hinted that it's taking place at one of her properties in a series of posts that she shared with fans on social media earlier. Kylie, 27, is said to live in a $36 million - roughly £27 million - mansion in Los Angeles. It's previously been suggested that the Kardashians star's property portfolio also includes an estate in a different area, with her having reportedly been building another home there after buying the land for $15 million - approximately £11 million - five years ago in 2020. The entrepreneur shared an update about a property with her followers on Instagram earlier today. Kylie posted a series of photos on the platform that appeared to show construction work underway at an undisclosed house. The first of the photos showed an unfinished archway over a staircase, with the entire structure made of wood. Wiring was seen on the walls and apparent electrical outlets in the process of being constructed were also visible nearby. Some writing was seen above the two outlets, with both instances accompanied by a question mark. It appeared to resemble the word 'sconce' - which is a fixture that can be attached to a wall to hold candles or other lighting. Another photo shared by Kylie showed comments written in black pen on a piece of wood elsewhere. Part of the message read: "We love you Kylie." Above two hearts, it seemed to continue: "God is here." It's unclear who wrote it. The final photo instead featured the first name of Kylie's daughter Stormi, 7, written in green pen beneath a drawing on a wall. Stormi is the eldest of the former Keeping Up with the Kardashians ' two children with her former partner Travis Scott, 34, with them also parents to Aire, 3, together. Kylie didn't provide a caption on any of the three posts that she shared with her followers on her Instagram Story earlier. It remains unknown where the photos were taken. The US Sun suggests that it shows work underway at the property she's reportedly building, rather than her current home. The photos are the latest insight into Kylie's life after she shared previous updates on the platform just days ago. Earlier this week, she uploaded a series of other photos and wrote in the accompanying caption: "My week on [film emoji]." Stormi and Aire featured in the post, as did pals including Hailey Bieber, 28, and Kylie's sister Kendall Jenner, 29. Some of the photos showed Kylie herself, with her seen beaming as she looked towards the camera in one of them. Many fans shared their excitement over the post, with one writing at the time: "My heart is smiling. Beautiful beautiful!" Others instead expressed disappointment that her partner Timothée Chalamet wasn't in any of the photos, despite Kylie sharing photos from time they spent together. One fan said: "Post the pictures with Timothee alreadyyyyyy."
