LONDON, Aug 10 — Singer Jessie J recently announced her breast cancer diagnosis and she had been recovering after a mastectomy.
However it seems the singer will be undergoing another surgery though she has not disclosed the specifics of it.
In a post where Jessie, 37, also teased an upcoming music release, the singer wrote: 'I can rest, parent AND release new music.
I didn't leave a major label after 18 years to be scared to re write the rules to fit around my life/ health. I just have to make it realistic on what I can deliver in all roles in my life.'
Last week she was hospitalised after an infection, the singer revealed in an Instagram story.
In this new post, she stated that she was seven weeks post-breast cancer surgery, and was 'still in the thick of recovery and my body is still finding its way.'
She has decided that she will not wait for a 'perfect' timing to release music again and is 'choosing to carry on'.
The new music drop is likely to be August 29, a date she showed in the Instagram reel.
Here's to the singer's recovery and a smooth surgery ahead.

Tolkien treasure: Rare ‘Hobbit' first edition discovered in UK home sells for record-breaking RM241,000

LONDON, Aug 7 — A rare first edition of JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit sold for £43,000 (RM241,087) at auction yesterday, after it was found during a house clearance in south-west England. Purchased by a private collector in the United Kingdom, the book is one of 1,500 original copies of the British author's seminal fantasy novel that were published in 1937. Of those, only 'a few hundred are believed to still remain', according to the auction house Auctioneum, which discovered the book on a bookcase at a home in Bristol. Bidders from around the world drove the price up by more than four times what the auction house expected for the manuscript. 'It's a wonderful result, for a very special book,' said Auctioneum rare books specialist Caitlin Riley. 'The surviving books from the initial print run are now considered some of the most sought-after books in modern literature,' Auctioneum said in a statement. Auctioneum unearthed the book during a routine house clearance after its owner passed away. 'Nobody knew it was there,' Riley said. 'It was just a run-of-the-mill bookcase.' 'It was clearly an early Hobbit at first glance, so I just pulled it out and began to flick through it, never expecting it to be a true first edition,' she said. 'I couldn't believe my eyes,' she added, calling it an 'unimaginably rare find'. The copy is bound in light green cloth and features rare black-and-white illustrations by Tolkien, who created his beloved Middle Earth universe while he was a professor at the University of Oxford. The book was passed down in the family library of Hubert Priestley, a botanist connected to the university. 'It is likely that both men knew each other,' according to Auctioneum, which said Priestley and Tolkien shared mutual correspondence with author CS Lewis, who was also at Oxford. The Hobbit, which was followed by the epic series The Lord of the Rings, has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide. The sagas were turned into a hit movie franchise in the 2000s.

Rare first edition of ‘The Hobbit' unearthed in UK heads to auction, early bid hits nearly RM130,000

LONDON, Aug 6 — A rare first edition of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit was expected to sell for thousands of pounds on Wednesday after it was found during a house clearance in south-west England. The book is one of 1,500 original copies of the British author's seminal fantasy novel that were published in 1937. Of those only 'a few hundred are believed to still remain', according to auction house Auctioneum, which discovered the book on an old bookcase at a home in Bristol. 'The surviving books from the initial print run are now considered some of the most sought-after books in modern literature,' Auctioneum said in a statement. Bidding, which ends at 2000 GMT on Wednesday, reached £23,000 (RM129,675) by late morning. Auctioneum unearthed the book during a routine house clearance after its owner passed away. 'Nobody knew it was there,' said Auctioneum rare books specialist Caitlin Riley. 'It was just a run-of-the-mill bookcase.'
