Jessie J 'hinted at secret health battle weeks before announcing her breast cancer diagnosis'
Jessie J appeared to drop a hint about her cancer diagnosis weeks ago during a performance in London. The singer, 37, announced she has been diagnosed with breast cancer in a social media post on Wednesday and said the condition had been caught 'early'. But the announcement appears all the more poignant now given what Jessie is reported to have told fans while performing at Union Chapel on May 20. Accorrding to The Mirror, the star told her fans at the show she was putting herself first and wanted to have fun. She said: 'I know we are all going through our own battles in life, we are all struggling in our own way. We talk about it sometimes, and sometimes we don't. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I'm grateful I have the voice and the strength to be able to put those experiences into songs that people can take and make them their own soundtrack to help them get through a tough time, a good time, a scary time.' The hitmaker also seemed to reference her cancer battle when she introduced her new song No Secrets. 'This song for me, more so than ever right now, is getting me through my life,' she said. No Secrets was Jessie's comeback song after a four-year hiatus, during which time she welcomed her son Sky, two, with basketball star Chanan Colman. Jessie revealed that she discovered she had the illness before the release of her hit new single No Secrets, which was released on April 25. The mother of one said she would be undergoing surgery after performing at the Summertime Ball in London on June 15. In the clip, Jessie said: 'Hi, I have been going back and forth a little bit on whether to share it. I want to but there's lots of opinions outside... 'Also knowing that I want to share with my fans and the people that care about me, 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. Cancer sucks in any form but I'm holding onto the word early. 'I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period, adding that she had not been adequately 'processing it because I'm working so hard.' Jessie said she 'wanted to be open and share it - one, because selfishly I do not talk about it enough. I'm not processing it 'cause I'm working so hard.' She added: '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.' The London native stated: 'I'm an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much, similar and worse. That's the bit that kills me.' 'I just wanted to let you guys know it wasn't something I planned. I'm getting to keep my nipples. That's good, it's a weird topic and a weird situation.' Jessie reflected: 'To get diagnosed with this as I'm putting out a song called No Secrets, right before a song called Living My Best Life – which was all pre-planned, before I found out about this. I mean, you can't make it up.' Continuing the lighthearted mood, she wrote in the caption: 'No (more) Secrets and is it too soon to do a remix called Living My Breast Life?' She joked: 'It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job,' adding that the operation to excise the cancer would occur sometime after her appearance at Summertime Ball at London's Wembley Stadium on June 15. Jessie told fans she would 'disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery and I will come back with massive t**s and more music.' Continuing the lighthearted mood, she wrote in the caption: 'No (more) Secrets and is it too soon to do a remix called Living My Breast Life? 'All jokes aside (you know it's one of the ways I get through hard times). This last two months have been so amazing, and having this go on alongside it on the sideline's has given me the most incredible perspective. 'BUT... your girl needs a hug. Also not getting massive t**s. Or am I? No no.. I must stop joking?' Later reflecting on her news, Jessie wrote on her Instagram Story: 'Just shared (posted) something super personal I have been holding onto for 9 weeks. 'The timing of it has been mad but beautiful and given me this incredible perspective in this time. But honestly I need to process it and, I need a hug. 'You have loved me through all my good and hard times. I don't want this to be any different.'

'Jessie, just to say, we're sending all the Radio 2 love your way,' Scott said on air. 'Sending so much love to you and your family and we will see you in Chelmsford.' Jessie's cancer diagnosis is the latest heartrending revelation from the singer, whose new single No Secrets told the story of a shattering miscarriage she suffered in 2021. Two years later, she joyfully welcomed her firstborn child, her son Sky, with her longtime boyfriend, basketball star Chanan Colman. She recently sweetly shared that whenever Sky 'hears me singing, he looks at everyone in the room and goes, 'mummy's singing.' He finishes the songs I sang to him when he was a baby. He sings it to me,' via The Project. Throughout her childhood Jessie suffered health issues. She was diagnosed with heart disease when she was nine and when she was 17 she suffered a stroke. In April Jessie spoke about her health while appearing at Advertising Week Europe in London, sharing that overcoming a number of serious struggles has influenced her career. 'My health has always kept me balanced,' she explained. 'When I was nine, I landed a role in a West End musical, but then I was diagnosed with heart disease and was in and out of the hospital while doing the show. 'At 17, just after signing my first deal and finishing the BRIT School, I had a stroke. 'Then, when I was supposed to release my last album, I went deaf. And then I had a miscarriage. All these things have felt like they were keeping my feet on the ground.' The Price Tag hitmaker also revealed that she is constantly 'scared' of her son 'hurting himself' as she discussed motherhood and how she doesn't want to 'live in fear'. She explained: 'Living in fear doesn't stop the thing you're scared of from happening. I'm always so scared my son's going to hurt himself, but if he's going to hurt himself, he's going to hurt himself. 'I may as well live in the moment while he's not hurting himself, instead of being scared that he is.' Jessie's breast cancer diagnosis comes days after actress Kara Tointon revealed t hat she has undergone a double mastectomy after learning that she carries the deadly BRCA1 gene. The former EastEnders actress, 41, took to Instagram last week to share an emotional post detailing her decision after losing her mother to ovarian cancer in 2018. Tointon, who raises two young children with her fiancé Marius Jensen, announced that she has undergone a double mastectomy and had her fallopian tubes removed as a preventative measure. Tointon's operation comes just six years after her mother Carol passed away following her own battle with the disease. As an ambassador for the Eve appeal, a charity that raises awareness of gynaecological cancers, the actress opened up to her followers about the journey that led to her discovery that she carries the BRCA1 gene.
