Jessie J Sends Warning To Fans Ahead Of Meeting Her Amid Cancer Battle
The singer has given her fans a heads-up on her likely demeanor should they bump into her in any public space following her surgery amid her breast cancer diagnosis.
Jessie J was diagnosed with breast cancer in April but disclosed it to her fans in June and has stayed completely transparent about the whole process of her treatment, surgery, and ongoing recovery.
The "Nobody's Perfect" singer showed up on Instagram bearing reports about the current state of her health 12 days after her mastectomy. Jessie admitted that she misses being a mom to her son, who is currently on a mini vacation with his grandparents.
She acknowledged that she still feels pain from the procedure, but she is gradually getting her life back via exercises and living a healthy lifestyle. She has also pulled the brakes on the pain medications to avoid overdoing this.
The singer followed up with another post, issuing a note of warning to her fans that, should they encounter her in public, things may seem out of place due to her current situation.
According to The Daily Mail, Jessie J added: "It's not personal. I don't have what l 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."
Jessie's life update last week got her in a bit of a tight spot when fans misconstrued her statement for a recovery announcement. As reported by The Blast, the singer responded to the circulating reports, clarifying that her cancer was not all gone.
Instead, Jessie emphasized that she only implied a positive ending to her story with cancer with the tone of her post. She stated that no official report had been provided regarding her surgery.
Jessie took responsibility for sending mixed messages with her post, writing: "I added the [fingers-crossed emoji] in thinking people would understand, and clearly a lot didn't. A weird situation. My fault for not being clearer."
The singer explained that she just got out of surgery a few nights before the time of her post, and treating cancer is no child's play. Most importantly, the star informed fans that getting a clear verdict on the state of her health post-surgery would not happen after a few days.
The former singing show coach's journey in the weeks leading up to her surgery was not a walk in the park. She had to cross many hurdles to help her prepare physically and mentally for the process.
Jessie was drained from processing all her concerns about her health alongside raising her children and balancing her life and career.
The burden of her hectic schedule and daunting reality left her with panic, tears, and fiery rage, which left her in a terrible mood. Jessie eventually found a genius way to soothe her hiccups, and corn cobs provided the succor.
The singer revealed that she discovered it was nearly impossible to "panic or cry while eating one." Jessie described the experience as an instant mood shift and recommended it to her fans.
On June 15, Jessie gave her final performance before going into the theatre for a life-saving surgery. The singer sang her out at the Capital's Summertime Ball with Barclaycard at Wembley Stadium.
PEOPLE reported that she shared how special the moment feels to her, noting that she is grateful for her life, her career, her son, and her wonderful parents. Jessie declared, "My family, my band, my crew. We are so lucky, we have so much to live for, so much joy, so much, so many things to do."
She then walked her fans through her post-show ritual on her Instagram Story, which involves going to dinner with friends, settling in for a cool shower indoors, and applying a thick layer of skincare to her face.
"Now I'm sitting in Skys' room just staring at him. Having a needed a well earned cry. Happy and scared tears. This boy. My whole heart. What a special day today was," Jessie added.
On June 3, the star opened up to her 14 million followers about the latest update on her health. Jessie admitted to being an open book with everyone around her, which explains why she chose to come clean to her fans about the illness.
"Before 'No Secrets' came out, I was diagnosed with early breast cancer," Jessie began. She explained to her fans that she has been in and out of the hospital for several tests to know every detail about her illness.
She concluded her post, informing her fans that she would be going in for surgery to tackle the cancer since it is still in its early stage and to forestall further spread.
Rooting for Jessie J to beat this cancer once and for all!

Taylor Swift Reveals New Album 'The Life of a Showgirl'
Superstar singer and master marketer Taylor Swift used an appearance on boyfriend Travis Kelce's podcast "New Heights" to reveal her 12th studio album, "The Life of a Showgirl." Love or hate her music or politics, there is one thing no one can deny: Taylor Swift is a marketing genius. The singer-songwriter, whose personal net worth of $1.6 billion makes her the wealthiest female musician in history, stepped back into the spotlight this week, pushing all of the right buttons to whip her fanbase into a frenzy. On Monday, her PR team's official Taylor Nation Instagram account shared 12 photos from her massively successful Eras Tour, featuring Swift wearing different shades of orange. "Thinking about when she said 'See you next era…'" read the caption. Related: Taylor Swift Buys Back Her Masters: 'No Strings Attached' Swifties lost their minds, with fans recognizing that Swift often uses color-coding to mark her albums. The post garnered over two million likes. With that hint dropped, Swift's official website began a countdown clock dialing down to 12:12 a.m. on August 12. And when the clock struck 12:12, she dropped a video preview of an upcoming appearance on her boyfriend Travis Kelce's podcast "New Heights." Swifties, rejoice! Her 12th studio album, "The Life of a Showgirl," lands in October. And as you'll note in the video, the cover is blurred out. Swift is nothing if not masterful at dropping little breadcrumbs to keep fans engaged and hungry for more in the lead-up to a new release. Related: Why Taylor Swift Embraces Superstitions Swift's appearance on "New Heights," hosted by Travis Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelce, will drop on Wednesday at 7 p.m. While the brothers have certainly discussed Travis and Taylor's relationship on the show before, this marks the first time she is making an appearance. Over the years, Swift has found inventive and unexpected ways to announce her new releases. She has surprised fans with announcements during award shows, and, in the middle of an Eras Tour show in Nashville, flashed the album cover and release date of "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)," which, according to one report, "sent shockwaves through the stadium." Business Insider notes that "The Life of a Showgirl" will be Swift's first new album since the singer successfully bought back her masters. This ostensibly ended the "Taylor's Version" series, in which Swift re-recorded versions of her older albums to circumvent an ownership dispute with her former record label, Big Machine Records.

She also posted a quote stating: "New life, new beginnings means new boundaries. New ways of being that won't look or sound like they did before," accompanied by the song "Freedom Time" by Lauryn Hill. The couple resided in Philadelphia and had no children. The 44-year-old married the plastic surgeon and otolaryngologist Krein in 2012 after two years of dating. The couple met through Ashley Biden's older brother Beau, who passed away from glioblastoma, a form of brain cancer, in 2015. At the time of their marriage, the then-vice president praised their union, telling People magazine: "This is the right guy. And he's getting a helluva woman." Ashley Biden is an activist and social worker who spent 15 years working at the Delaware Department of Services for Children, Youth, and Their Families, and served as executive director of the Delaware Center for Justice from 2014 to 2019. Krein works as a professor at Thomas Jefferson University, serves as the senior director of health policy and innovation at the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson, and is the Chief Medical Officer at StartUp Health. What People Are Saying Ashley Biden said about her wedding while introducing her father at the 2024 Democratic National Convention: "I had my wedding reception in my parents' backyard. At the time, my dad was vice president, but he was also that dad who literally set up the entire reception. He was riding around in his John Deere 4-wheeler, fixing the place settings, arranging the plants, and by the way, he was very emotional." What Happens Next Given her previous private approach to her personal life, it is likely Ashley Biden will not comment publicly about the end of her marriage.
