The singer said she wanted to "be open and share it"Jessie J has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
The singer provided an update on her health in a candid video posted to Instagram on Tuesday, June 3, expressing that it was something she was "going back and forth" on revealing.
"I want to share it with my fans and the people that care about me, and also I'm a sharer. I've always shared everything that I go through in my life. Before 'No Secrets' came out, I was diagnosed with early breast cancer," she said.
The English pop star released her song, "No Secrets" in April.
"I'm highlighting the word early. Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word early," she continued. "I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period."
The singer said she wanted to "be open and share it." "One, because selfishly, I do not talk about it enough," she said. "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."
Noting that her diagnosis was not something she planned, she added that she is "getting to keep [her] nipples," which is "good."
"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 t--- and more music," she said. Capital's Summertime Ball takes place Sunday, June 15.
Over in the caption, Jessie, who is a mom to son Sky, 2, with boyfriend Chanan Safir Colman, expressed further how she was feeling.
Her caption read: "No (more) Secrets and is it too soon to do a remix called 'Living my breast life'? 🥴 All jokes aside (You know it's one of the ways I get through hard times) This last 2 months have been so amazing, and having this go on along side it on the sideline's has given me the most incredible perspective. BUT… Your girl needs a hug. 🫂🫀🔋 Also not getting massive t---. Or am I? No no… I must stop joking."
