Pop star Jessie J shares positive news in health battle
The 37-year-old British singer and former The Voice Australia judge has taken to social media to share a positive health update amid her ongoing cancer battle.
In a video posted on Instagram, Sky - Jessie's two-year-old son - says: "Mummy is going to be OK."
Jessie captioned the video: "And…I AM OK"
"Results = I have NO cancer spread.
"Happy tears are real.
"Thank YOU for the prayers, the love, the well wishes, the joy and all the positive energy."
Jessie then provided some context to her son's video message.
She explained: "This video is from the night before my surgery. We called it baby boy. You are my biggest ray of light and with you in my life the darkness will never win."
"Lots of healing to go and one more surgery to make these cousins look more like sisters. But for now it's gratitude time and I am changing my name to The LopJess monster (sic)"
Jessie first shared news of her cancer diagnosis via an Instagram post on June 3.
The chart-topping pop star admitted at the time that she'd been "going back and forth" over whether to share the news with the public.
She said in a video message: "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.
"I'm highlighting the word early. Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word early. I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period."
Jessie confessed at the time that she was still trying to process the news herself. However, she ultimately felt it was important that she shared the news with her fans.
The Price Tag hitmaker 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."

Yungblud 'truly heartbroken' following passing of dear friend Ozzy Osbourne
Yungblud is "truly heartbroken" following the passing of his dear friend Ozzy Osbourne. The 27-year-old rocker formed a close bond with the late Prince of Darkness - who passed away on Tuesday (22.07.25) at the age of 76 - ever since he and his wife Sharon Osbourne made a cameo in his music video for The Funeral in 2022. Yungblud - whose real name is Dominic Harrison - recently had the honour of performing Black Sabbath classic Changes at Ozzy and the band's final concert, dubbed Back To The Beginning, at Birmingham's Villa Park on July 5. Backstage, Yungblud gifted Ozzy a custom cross necklace after the Paranoid rocker previously presented him with one his, and the Fleabag rocker says it's "the most precious thing I own". In a moving tribute, he penned on Instagram: "I didn't think you would leave so soon the last time we met you were so full of life and your laugh filled up the room. But as it is written with legends, they seem to know the things that we don't. I will never forget you - you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage. Your cross around my neck is the most precious thing I own. You asked me once if there was anything you could do for me and as I said then and as I will say now for all of us the music was enough. You took us on your adventure - an adventure that started it all. I am truly heartbroken. You were the greatest of all time." Upon giving Ozzy the cross, the pair shared a heartfelt exchange where they expressed their love for each other. Yungblud said of the special gift: "Back in 2022 on the video shoot for The Funeral, Ozzy gave me his gold cross and said 'I hope this brings you luck'. I thought, on this monumental moment for him and Sabbath, it was time for me to return the favour and let him know what he and the band means to me."

'In the pantheon of rock gods': tributes flow for Ozzy
Elton John says Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne was a "huge trailblazer" who "secured his place in the pantheon of rock gods". He joined Black Sabbath co-founder Tony Iommi, Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood and other famous faces in paying tribute to the British heavy metal singer after his death on Tuesday. Elton posted on Instagram: "So sad to hear the news of Ozzy Osbourne passing away. "He was a dear friend and a huge trailblazer who secured his place in the pantheon of rock gods - a true legend. "He was also one of the funniest people I've ever met. I will miss him dearly. To Sharon and the family, I send my condolences and love. Elton xx." Black Sabbath co-founder Tony Iommi said it was "brilliant" to reunite with the band just weeks before Osbourne died, saying the singer "really wanted" to perform together again and "felt at home". He told BBC Radio 4: "It is really a shock. It's really hit me today to be honest, but yeah, a terrible shock." On their reunion concert, Iommi said: "It was good for all of us, and lovely to be able to get together for a final thing. I mean, we didn't realise it was going to be this final. We didn't expect him to... but he hasn't looked well for a while." Wood joined Osbourne at Black Sabbath's last gig at Villa Park, Birmingham, earlier this month. He posted on X: "I am so very sad to hear of the death of Ozzy Osbourne. "What a lovely goodbye concert he had at Back To The Beginning in Birmingham." Singer Yungblud, who sang Black Sabbath's Changes at the Back To The Beginning farewell concert on July 5, said he was "heartbroken" by the news and called Osbourne "the greatest of all time". "I didn't think you would leave so soon the last time we met you were so full of life and your laugh filled up the room," he wrote in a social media post. Motorhead said they had lost a "dear friend" in a post that recalled the band's late vocalist Lemmy's friendship with Osbourne. "We lost our dear friend today today. Ozzy was a pioneer, a guiding force for all in hard rock and metal, and a great guy too. "Lemmy and Ozzy were brothers in arms who enjoyed many adventures together, and his loss is seismic. RIP Ozzy, we will always love and celebrate you ...", they wrote. AC/DC posted that Osbourne's death was a "great loss to all that loved him", with Metallica members calling him an "icon" and "mentor" while sharing photos from rock photographers Ross Halfin and Noah Abrams. "He taught us how to play in the big leagues while at the same time being warm, welcoming, engaging, and all around brilliant," they wrote on Instagram. Among the other stars paying tributes were David Beckham, Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, Queen guitarist Brian May and US movie star Adam Sandler, who said he felt "so happy" that he was able to meet Osbourne. May said Osbourne's final concert this month "was a glorious way to say goodbye". Aston Villa, Osbourne's home town football club, said it was "saddened" to learn of the star's passing. "Growing up in Aston, not far from Villa Park, Ozzy always held a special connection to the club and the community he came from," the club said. "The thoughts of everyone at Aston Villa are with his wife Sharon, his family, friends, and countless fans at this extremely difficult time."

It was a groundbreaking crime book – and this TV adaptation is even stranger
Smilla's Sense of Snow ★★★ It's hard to overstate the impact Danish novelist Peter Hoeg had in 1992 with his literary thriller Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow. A crime mystery about an alienated Copenhagen woman who's convinced her neighbour, a young Greenlandic boy, died under suspicious circumstances, it spent months on the bestseller lists and was Time 's Book of the Year. Hoeg unfolded a fantastical conspiracy and a sly reckoning with his homeland's colonial past. It was a groundbreaking book, attuned to today's social and political currents. Hollywood put out a diligent, tidied-up movie adaptation in 1997, with Danish filmmaker Pelle August directing Julia Ormond in the title role, but Hoeg's prose, fluid and evocative, allows for no shortage of interpretations. Hence, this European co-production, a six-part existential thriller that takes more than enough liberties with the source material to sit distinctly aside from the feature film and, sometimes, even the book. A smidgeon of science-fiction, a mass of the metaphysical, Smilla's Sense of Snow is a curious reinvention. The setting remains Copenhagen, but it's now 2040 and the Danish capital is suffering through an energy crisis and constant surveillance; residents get a monthly allotment of power, but it's barely enough unless you can pay for more. The how and why is unclear, but the political chaos is obvious: nationalism and political violence is boiling over amidst an election. For Smilla Jaspersen (Filippa Coster-Waldau), it's a matter of little consequence – the former climate activist lives alone, aligning with her late mother's Inuit heritage over her privileged father's Danish outlook. She uses 'Europeans' as a pejorative phrase. Created by the British filmmaker Amma Asante (Belle) and the British writer Clive Bradley (Trapped), the show is focused on examining truths rather than teasing them out. Smilla's bond with Isaiah (Silver Wolfe), who has come to Copenhagen with his bereft Greenlandic mother after his father's death, is sketched out quickly, in the shadow of the solemn little boy's death after he falls from a rooftop. Smilla, who also grew up in Greenland, can tell from the footprints on the apartment building's roof that something was awry. The swift declaration of an accidental death by the authorities makes her start digging. The narrative is quick to show us that something is amiss, and that the stakes involved have compromised many. Smilla and Isaiah's neighbour, Tunisian political refugee Rahid Youseffi (Elyas M'Barek), quickly goes from helping the boy to spying on Smilla as she starts to reveal information. The schemes that connect Isaiah's past in Greenland to the energy crisis and the election are desperate and often crude. 'We only have 30 good years left,' one plotter, tech mogul Caspen Tork (Henry Lloyd-Hughes), tells the government minister he soon ensnares, Katja Claussen (Amanda Collin). What comes to the fore is Smilla's anguish. Investigating Isaiah's death reawakens her memories of Greenland, tapping into a mystical state that folds together historic visions and contemporary dream states. As with the last season of True Detective, Smilla's Sense of Snow looks at crime through the lens of Indigenous communities and their connection to the land that was long ago taken from them.
