Beloved Singer, 37, Makes Final Public Appearance Before Serious Cancer Treatments
Beloved Singer, 37, Makes Final Public Appearance Before Serious Cancer Treatments originally appeared on Parade. A talented singer-songwriter with a young son revealed in an Instagram video earlier this month that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and will undergo a double mastectomy later this year. Jessie J, 37 (real name Jessica Ellen Cornish), walked the red carpet for the Capital Summertime Ball 2025 at Wembley Stadium on June 15, in London, England. The annual Summertime Ball is put on by the U.K. radio station Capital. It is a mini musical festival that takes place on either the first or second Saturday or Sunday in June, depending on the year. In addition to Jessie J, the lineup for 2025 included Mariah Carey, Will Smith & DJ Jazzy Jeff, Benson Boone, Dasha, Rita Ora and more. When the British Grammy-nominated singer revealed her cancer diagnosis, she had said that Summertime Ball would be her last hurrah before undergoing her cancer treatment and June 3, Jessie J revealed in a candid, emotional video that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. In her usual cheeky way, she was making light of her situation, but became quite emotional when talking about other people going through what she is currently going through. "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. I just wanted to be open and share it, 1) because selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. 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. I'm an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much, similar and worse. Um, that's the bit that kills me," said the singer. "I'm getting to keep my nipples. That's good. It's a weird topic and a weird situation," said Jessie, adding, "It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job. I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery. And I will come back with massive tits and more music." Jessie J has a young son named Sky, who just turned 2 in May. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Beloved Singer, 37, Makes Final Public Appearance Before Serious Cancer Treatments first appeared on Parade on Jun 15, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 15, 2025, where it first appeared.
