Pop star Jessie J has shared that she is experiencing significant hair loss following her recent breast cancer operation. The 37-year-old artist, whose real name is Jessica Cornish, underwent a mastectomy in June after being diagnosed with an early form of the disease.
‌
While she confirmed last month there was fortunately 'no cancer spread' post-surgery, she was recently readmitted to the hospital due to an 'infection' and 'fluid' in the lungs.
‌
Jessie updated her fans once more in an Instagram post yesterday, sharing a previous video she'd filmed to mark five weeks since the mastectomy. She said: "Five weeks today, since my surgery, and I'm feeling ok…
‌
"My boobs still aren't even, this is the implant still so sore, and then this is my old, oh, you're not old." She continued: "Now I'm just trying to figure out what the next kind of six months is going to look like.

"I know that it has to change, and I can't do anything that I was supposed to be doing, but I just want to be able to like, make it work best I can for everybody, me, Sky (her daughter), my fans, but in the right order.

"It's so hard, like you're always going to leave some people disappointed, my perspective on everything has changed so much." The London-born star also teased that she has a new song 'coming out soon'.
Whilst Jessie said she couldn't do 'as much promo for it' due to her ongoing recovery, she stressed that she 'can't have it sitting in [her] phone for another year'.
This revelation follows her recent hospital visit, which she described as a 'reminder to myself to slow down', despite already feeling she was moving at a slower pace.
‌
In an earlier Instagram post, Jessie said: "This isn't a speedy recovery and it isn't meant to be. As an ADHD Aries, fire breathing dragon t-rex, I can do it myself, I'm always ok woman. That slow pace has been a hard reality to accept to be honest.
"I love moving and working and being up and active but I can't be right now, and that's what it is, and I am finding the strength knowing that all can be adjusted to align with a slower pace and the support of my very small inner support circle."

Jessie welcomed her son, Sky Safir Cornish Colman, in 2023, following a miscarriage in November 2021. She has faced numerous health challenges throughout her life, including a heart condition diagnosis at eight years old, a minor stroke at 18, and temporary deafness in 2020.
The singer-songwriter has had three number-one hits on the UK singles chart with Domino, Price Tag, and Bang Bang. In 2011, she was honoured with four Mobo awards, including best UK act, best newcomer, best song for Do It Like A Dude, and best album with Who You Are. She also won the Brit Award for rising star.
