I am 11 days post surgery. I'm good. Missing being an active Mum / human the most. "But it's been nice to slow down and Sky is having a blast with Nanny and Grandad.' She admitted the process hasn't been pain-free, adding, 'It's still uncomfortable / a little painful but I can handle that. I'm doing my exercises and taking all the healthy things. I have been trying to eat super clean. In a surprising move, the Price Tag hitmaker revealed she's stopped taking all painkillers. Jessie - who became a mum last year to son Sky with basketball player Chanan Colman - continued: 'I have stopped all pain meds. Just not my thing. Also like to feel how it feels so I don't overdo it. I have now done a [poo emoji]." "Still have my drain. Anyone else who has had this, did you feel like you are walking around one of those dog / duck toys?' 'I carry mine on the floor when I'm home so the gravity can help the drain. Hoping it's out by the end of the week. Despite the obvious challenges of recovery, Jessie said she's trying to stay in a grateful mindset, saying: 'I am feeling positive and grateful.' She also had a message for anyone who might bump into her out and about. Jessie said: 'If you do see me out, sitting in a park or coming out of a doctor's appointment or eating or walking or anything, and I seem a little out of it. I am. It's not personal. Jessie J reveals she's taking break from music to 'beat breast cancer' after shock diagnosis 'I don't have what I usually have to give energy wise, understandably. I will get there. It's a slow road. For now I am taking it easy. Enjoying the slow vibes and staying positive. Lots of love.' Last week, Jessie revealed she doesn't yet know if she's cancer free after her mastectomy. The musician had the operation earlier this week in a bid to beat her breast cancer, and some fans misinterpreted a post that stated: "Cancer has all gone." Jessie said her words had been "misunderstood" and that her statement was a "positive affirmation". She wrote: "I posted a list of pros and cons of having breast cancer surgery. The first pro I put was... the cancer has all gone'. 8 She admitted the process hasn't been pain-free Credit: Instagram 8 Jessie also had a message for anyone who might bump into her out and about Credit: Instagram "This was a positive affirmation NOT a fact. I don't have my results yet. I added the [fingers crossed emoji] in thinking people would understand and clearly a lot didn't. "A weird situation," she continued. "My fault for not being clearer. But for now I do not have my results after surgery which was only 6 nights ago. I pray it will be true soon but the journey of cancer isn't that simple unfortunately." Jessie is now taking a break from social media as she continues her recovery. "Tapping off socials for a week," she said. "Healthy and needed reset. To focus on my recovery and saying stuff that gets twisted of misread. "My head and boob hurts. Lol, Bye. Always loveeeee." After her operation, Jessie admitted she was struggling not being able to pick up her two-year-old son, Sky. She then outlined the 'pros' of the procedure, writing: "Cancer is all gone. "My nipple is where it used to be, I can watch Love Island with no guilt. "I am getting to rest and talk to friends more than ever. "My mum lives with us. Sky just being Sky. Chanan making me feel safe and the messages are 10/10. "Connecting with other people who are going through a similar time and being able to support each other." The list was then followed by a "cons" equivalent. "Not being the mum I'm used to being and picking Sky up," she typed. "The fear of not knowing if the cancer is all gone - the mental with this is... 8 "The pain and discomfort is ok and expected but a d******d when I'm trying to sleep." Jessie explained how the only painkillers she was allowed to take were paracetamol and ibuprofen due to having low blood pressure. She did try and clear up her post at the time, warning she hadn't meant for the statement to be read as "fact" and that she is still awaiting her results. The BRIT winner added: "I'm getting a lot of messages. Saying so happy all the cancer has gone. To be clear I added the [fingers crossed] emoji as it's a hope not a fact. "I only had my surgery 4 days ago. I was just saying the pros of surgery and this situation and being positive. But I will get my results soon. "And hopefully I can post that as a fact. But for now I don't know. But I will stay positive and talk what l want into the universe." Earlier this month, Jessie revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Incredibly, she went ahead and performed at this year's Capital Summertime Ball in London on June 15. Jessie held back tears as she told the crowd at Wembley Stadium that she was taking a break to "beat breast cancer". 8 The BRIT winner still doesn't know if she's cancer free following her mastectomy Credit: Instagram 8 Incredibly, she performed at this year's Capital Summertime Ball after her diagnosis Credit: Getty

Charli XCX in row with ‘boomers' over Glastonbury autotune
The British singer Charli XCX accused 'boomers' of being boring after she was criticised for using autotune at Glastonbury. The Grammy-winning musician, 32, denied that performing live with the pitch correction software 'makes you a fraud' following social media criticism of her set at Worthy Farm on Saturday night. Writing on her X account, she said: 'Really enjoying these boomer vibe comments on Glastonbury performance. It's super fascinating to me. 'Like the idea that singing with deliberate autotune makes you a fraud or that not having a traditional band suddenly means you must not be a 'real artist' is like, the most boring take ever. Yawn sorry just fell asleep xx.' A number of festival-goers, or those who watched the gig live on the BBC, accused Charli XCX of 'barely singing'. One wrote on X: 'This Glastonbury set by Charli XCX is one of the worst things I've ever seen in my life. Barely singing, autotune in the rare moments she does sing a bit and horrendous dancing.' Another wrote: 'One thing I will never understand is why Charli XCX is as big as she is, s—e music, sounds so bad she has to sing with so much autotune every time she performs live. What am I missing here?' Charli XCX, whose real name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison, responded to the critiques explaining that she 'enjoys the discourse' around the use of autotune. 'The best art is divisive' She explained: 'Imo [in my opinion], the best art is divisive and confrontational and often evolves into truly interesting culture rather than being like kind of ok, easily understood and sort of forgettable.' Her breakout album Brat became a cultural phenomenon last year, spawning viral hits, TikTok memes, Collins Dictionary's Word of the Year and three Grammy awards. The electropop musician has been well-known for her use of autotune in her music, previously stating on Saturday Night Live that it 'makes everything sound better'. 'Today, I consider myself to be a triple threat, which in England means I sing, I drink and I smoke,' Aitchison quipped in her monologue. 'I want to take a moment to thank someone who's been there for me my entire career: AutoTune.' However, the artist has also spoken about how the software has made her 'lazy' and less able to sing in tune when live. Speaking on the Tape Notes Podcast with producers AG Cook and George Daniel last year, she said: '[In my] early work, I can – I could sing in tune, but now I think I've gotten so lazy because I sing with autotune all the time. 'Like I never [go], 'I'm not singing with autotune'. Unless I'm doing karaoke, which I actively don't do, for this reason. I'm pretty out [of pitch] because my ear is so used to leaning in.' However, others watching her set on Saturday night said they 'loved' the use of her autotune. 'She knows her way around it, knows how to sing with it and manipulate it to create this fantastic sound that is entirely unique to her. It's the opposite of lazy, she's incredibly intentional,' one fan said on social media.
