Jessie J experienced 'discomfort' during concert after undergoing 'five breast biopsies'
Jessie J pushed through with a gig in April despite experiencing "discomfort" after undergoing "five breast biopsies".
The Price Tag singer, who announced her breast cancer diagnosis earlier this week, shared a clip from her performance at Ronnie Scott's jazz club in London in April and revealed that her set took place the day after she had undergone several biopsies.
"I had 5 breast biopsies the night before this show," the 37-year-old captioned the Instagram post. "I was in some discomfort but so hyped to do it and I didn't want to cancel."
In the video, Jessie chats with the audience and makes a series of jokes, including one about her "huge perfect t*ts".
She admitted in the caption that she was struggling to keep her health news to herself during those exchanges.
"The more I watch this show back I can see my brain working in complete overdrive trying not to blurt it all out," she continued. "Laughing and making jokes in hard times (handshake emoji) me."
The Domino hitmaker announced on Wednesday that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and would undergo surgery after her performance at the Capital FM Summertime Ball on Sunday 15 June.
"I was diagnosed with early breast cancer," she told her followers. "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."
She then made a light-hearted joke, quipping, "It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job... I will come back with massive t*ts and more music."
Jessie clarified in the caption, "Also not getting massive t*ts. Or am I? No no... I must stop joking."
