Keeping her followers updated, Jessie posted another story on Sunday, Aug. 3, with a lighthearted message. 'I finally got a diagnosis of what's been going on. Lots of people have been asking, apparently it's called… Dramatic? I think that's the spelling,' she wrote. 'My symptoms are the same and no idea what's wrong yet. But my sarcasm and sense of humour are holding on.'
Jessie shared that 'people think that I'm like hanging on by a thread,' but noted, 'in some moments [it] has felt that way.' Detailing her symptoms, she recalled, 'Two or three days ago, when I woke up, and I couldn't breathe. I still have pain in my chest when I breathe, but it's not as bad.'
In July, Jessie revealed that her mastectomy was successful and the cancer did not spread. 'Happy tears are real. Thank YOU for the prayers, the love, the well wishes, the joy, and all the positive energy,' she said at the time. '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.'

Rod Stewart sparks backlash with ‘disrespectful' AI-generated Ozzy Osbourne tribute
Foolish Behaviour. Rod Stewart is facing scrutiny for paying tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne with an AI-generated clip at one of his recent concerts. The video from the 'Maggie May' singer's show on Friday, August, 1, was captured by a concertgoer and showed footage of Osbourne celebrating in Heaven with other deceased music legends like Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Prince, Kurt Cobain, Bob Marley, Amy Winehouse and George Michael as Stewart's 1988 hit 'Forever Young' played in the background. Advertisement 12 Rod Stewart's AI-generated video showed Ozzy Osbourne with several fallen stars. iamsloanesteel/Instagram 12 Ozzy Osbourne and Prince both appeared in the AI-generated video. iamsloanesteel/Instagram AI-generated images of Whitney Houston, Tupac Shakur, Freddie Mercury, Aaliyah and XXXTentacion also appeared in the clip. Advertisement Osbourne appeared smiling with Turner as the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll held onto a selfie stick. In another part of the footage, the late Black Sabbath rocker held the selfie stick as he posed with several of the other late legends. 'Yes the rumors are true: I went to a Rod Stewart concert last night (lol) and witnessed man made horrors beyond my comprehension. Ozzy Osbourne with a selfie stick in heaven smiling with Tina Turner, Bob Marley, Prince, and…XXXTentacion,' the audience member captioned the video. 12 The Black Sabbath frontman was also seen smiling alongside Michael Jackson, who died in 2009. iamsloanesteel/Instagram 12 The rocker was also shown in Heaven with the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll Tina Turner. iamsloanesteel/Instagram Advertisement The concertgoer continued to express their distaste for the tribute, writing over the clip, 'This is the craziest most disrespectful s–t I ever saw in my LIFE!!!' 'Rod Stewart really thought this was a brilliant idea. 😑,' one person responded to the footage. 'I've seen some s—ty AI visuals in concerts but this is a new low.

Prince changed his name to the unpronounceable symbol in 1993, with many speculating it was a ploy to get out of his contract with his longtime label, Warner Bros. Records. The 'Purple Rain' singer, who died in 2016 at age 57, was then referred to as the 'Artist Formerly Known as Prince.'

Birmingham tributes to Ozzy Osbourne will be taken down and given to his family
Tributes left for Ozzy Osbourne in his home city of Birmingham are to be taken down and given to the late star's family. Birmingham City Council has started the process of removing thousands of tributes in honour of the Black Sabbath rocker following his death last month at the age of 76. Fans had flocked to the city to pay their respects to Ozzy as flowers, keepsake items and handwritten notes were left at Black Sabbath Bridge - a spot that marks the Paranoid band's formation. The council says that the tributes will be preserved at a secure location before being passed on to Ozzy's loved ones. It stated: "In due course, they will be passed on the Osbourne family, so they may keep them as a lasting reminder of the public's affection and support." A concert ticket from 1995 featured among the tributes, which also included artwork and beer cans. Kate Brazier, head of city centre events at the council, said: "We've found all sorts - artwork, cans of beer and candles. We've found a box of tea with a message that says, 'Just in case you can't find a cuppa in heaven.' "But for me, the one that stands out the most is (the concert ticket) that someone's left a message on. It probably meant a lot to someone at one point in their life." Ozzy's family viewed the tributes during his funeral procession in the city last week and said they were "deeply moved" by the affection the public had for the Prince of Darkness - who had played his final gig with Black Sabbath at Birmingham's Villa Park stadium just 17 days prior to his death. A statement read: "We are deeply moved by the heartfelt tributes that have been placed at the Black Sabbath Bridge and at the Black Sabbath mural on Navigation Street in recent days. "These expressions of remembrance reflect the profound impact that Ozzy had on the city and its people, as well as fans from around the world - BIRMINGHAM FOREVER!" Lord Mayor of Birmingham Zafar Iqbal said: "We understand how important it is for the community to have a space to grieve and celebrate Ozzy's legacy. "We know fans will continue to pay their respects at the Black Sabbath Bridge and the mural on Navigation Street, as well as visiting the Ozzy exhibition."
