Jessie J 'in a lot of pain' as she shares update on breast cancer during gig
Jessie J told fans she has spent much of her recent time 'in and out of tests' and plans to undergo surgery to remove a lump from her breast after her performance at this month's Summertime Ball Singer Jessie J has shared an update on her health after revealing earlier this week that she has been diagnosed with "early breast cancer" and plans to undergo surgery after her performance at this month's Summertime Ball. The Price Tag singer, 37, shared in an Instagram video that she has spent a lot of her recent time "in and out of tests". The mum-of-one told her fans: "I was diagnosed with early breast cancer," mum-of-one Jessie disclosed as she spoke directly to her fans in the video. "Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word 'early'. "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 t**s and more music." Jessie, whose full name is Jessica Cornish, has now shared another update with her concerned fans. The much-loved singer shared a video on Instagram from her performance at London's Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, explaining that she was in a lot of discomfort but she didn't want to cancel the show and let her fans down. In the video, Jessie admitted: "I had 5 breast biopsies the night before this show. I was in some discomfort but so hyped to do it and I didn't want to cancel. "The more I watch this show back I can see my brain working in complete overdrive trying not to blurt it all out. Laughing and making jokes in hard times [handshake emoji] me. And I am in-fact under your bed.' During her stripped-back performance, Jessie asked the audience: 'Anyone here from Joe & The Juice? On my first album, Who You Are, I know a lot of people called it Who Are You, which completely changed the meaning. Who are you? Where have you been? Pet peeve - people asking me, 'Where have you been?' Where the f**k have you been?'" "Being truthful in who you are - not your mates or your family or everyone else, but like what you love and who you are. What makes you special. That's all I wanna focus on. And my huge, perfect t**s. You know what I mean?' Nearing the end of her set, the singer said that she was in a lot of pain, but that she wasn't going to let it get in the way of doing what she loves most. She joked: "I don't know why I'm w**king off the mic. Okay, it's time for me to end this set because I'm getting too wild.' On Wednesday, Jessie said she made her diagnosis public to help her process the news, and to show solidarity with others who are going through a similar experience. "I just wanted to be open and share it, " she expressed. "One, 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-that's the bit that kills me." She continued: "The timing of it has been mad but also beautiful and given me this incredible perspective in this time. "But honestly I need to process it and talk about it and, I need a hug. You have loved me through all my good and hard times. And I don't want this to be any different," she concluded. Jessie captioned her moving video: "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 2 months have been so amazing, and having this go on along side it on the sideline's has given me the most incredible perspective. BUT… Your girl needs a hug. Also not getting massive tits. Or am I? No no… I must stop joking." Jessie is a proud mum to her son Sky Safir Cornish Colman, who she welcomed into the world in 2023 after experiencing the heartache of a miscarriage in November 2021. Throughout her life, Jessie has faced numerous health challenges; she was diagnosed with a cardiac condition at the age of eight, endured a minor stroke at 18, and temporarily lost her hearing in 2020.

Matcha lattes: 13 of the best matcha spots to try in Dubai
Whether you love it or hate it, matcha is absolutely all the rage right now. You'll find it in brownies, ice cream and pancakes. You name it. But it is best in its classic matcha latte tea form — with a little bit of ice added, of course. Not only is matcha good for you (it's packed with antioxidants), but it also offers a natural source of caffeine. Unlike its steeped counterparts, matcha is made by grinding shade-grown tea leaves, resulting in a concentrated and vibrant emerald green powder that you can add to any type of milk. When made into a latte, the flavours become next level. Picture a velvety-smooth, well-balanced, and refreshing treat that gradually releases energy into your body all day. And boy, do we need it.

The strategy behind Joe & The Juice's and NBA superstar Kevin Durant partnership
To some, the first thing that may come to mind when they hear Kevin Durant and Joe & the Juice, is 'basketball sandwich,' and they wouldn't be far off. An unlikely duo, pairing – an NBA superstar and a global juice bar – but this partnership is part of a broader branding strategy aimed at positioning Joe & The Juice as more than just a place to grab a smoothie. Joe & The Juice, Global Brand & Communications Director, Kasper Garnell commented, 'We wanted to show that Joe isn't just a juice bar – It's a mindset. The message is simple: greatness isn't an accident. It's a lifestyle. And whether you're an athlete, an entrepreneur, or just someone on the move, Joe is here to fuel your journey and help you teach the peak of your performance,' 'Primarily, it was about brand elevation – boosting awareness globally and solidifying Joe & The Juice as a lifestyle brand, not just a place to grab a smoothie. We targeted growth in key markets, but more importantly, we wanted to inspire new audiences who align with our vision of active living and everyday greatness,' adds Garnell. Why Kevin Durant? The partnership with NBA superstar Kevin Durant was a strategic move within the global campaign, aligning with the brand's ethos of movement, wellness, and ambition. 'At Joe & The Juice, we've always stood for energy, ambition, and authenticity – qualities that Kevin Durant naturally embodies. The creative vision was about connecting the spirit of hustle, wellness, and global culture through a fresh lens,' says Garnell. He continues, 'Kevin isn't just an NBA legend; he's a global icon who's reshaping culture on and off the court. He's deeply invested in health, entrepreneurship, and community – all values we share. Plus, his international influence matches our global ambition perfectly. From our first conversations, it felt authentic, not just transactional, and that made all the difference.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by JOE & THE JUICE UAE (@joeandthejuiceuae) Reaching the right audience While the campaign was designed to be globally consistent in terms of visuals, messaging and creative direction there were some changes made to make the campaign more regionally relevant. 'We worked closely with our in-house creative team alongside select partners for production and amplification. Having a hands-on brand team meant we kept the Joe DNA strong throughout, while tapping into external expertise where it made sense: from digital media buying to local PR activations,' says Garnell. The campaign targeted a generation of young people who view wellness as a lifestyle rather than a fleeting trend – a particularly relevant theme in the UAE market. According to Mariana Sarilho, Marketing Manager for the UAE market, Joe & The Juice says, 'Joe & The Juice focused on a young, urban, aspirational crowd, people who are passionate about health, culture, and self-expression. In the UAE especially, there's a strong appetite for global trends and healthy, wellness-driven lifestyles. Kevin's authenticity and reach in sports, business, and youth culture gave us that direct line to engage them meaningfully.' Locally, the focus was on activating the campaign through relevant community connections. 'Our focus was more about how we activated it: making sure we connected with the right communities, selecting relevant touchpoints, and bringing the campaign to life in ways that felt natural within the local lifestyle and fitness culture,' adds Sarilho. Social buzz and broader impact Online, the campaign has made a noticeable impact – both in terms of visibility and engagement. 'The feedback was incredible. Engagement rates across our channels jumped significantly and we saw a big spike not just in likes, but real conversations around the collaboration. One surprise was how many non-traditional customers (not just gym-goers or athletes) felt inspired by the messaging. It showed us that Joe's energy resonates way beyond the health niche,' Sarilho shared. To reinforce local relevance, the brand also collaborated with regional influencers. 'We are activating local tastemakers, fitness influencers, and lifestyle creators in the UAE. They help us tell the story in a way that feels personal and real to their own audiences. Selection was based on authentic brand fit,' she adds. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JOE & THE JUICE UAE (@joeandthejuiceuae) Rolling out the campaign The campaign's rollout was launched as a 360 experience – across social platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, out-of-home placements, and in-store activations. 'Kevin's personal platforms played a huge role in boosting visibility, when he shared, it instantly amplified our reach to millions of highly engaged fans who trust and relate to him. It wasn't just about numbers, it was about tapping into real cultural influence,' Garnell explains. The launch strategy itself unfolded in phases – each one designed to build momentum and anticipation. And as for the results? 'We looked at brand lift, engagement rates, in-store footfall, and product sales tied to the campaign. Early data has been super encouraging with significant uptick in brand mentions, strong video completion rates, and sales growth in key categories. We're still analysing deeper impact, but the energy is undeniable,' says Garnell. The campaign will stay live into the summer, with fresh content and new moments dropping along the way to keep the momentum building
