Inside Jessie J's health battles amid breast cancer diagnosis including heartbreaking miscarriage
Price Tag singer Jessie J, 37, has remained in high spirits despite announcing she has been diagnosed with 'early breast cancer' and it's not the first of her health woes. Jessie J has faced a number of various health problems over the years. The 37-year-old has certainly not had an easy time of it, including facing a heartbreaking fertility diagnosis. It comes as the Price Tag singer and former judge on The Voice announced she has been diagnosed with 'early breast cancer'. Jessie is set to undergo surgery following her performance on stage later this month at the Summertime Ball. She has faced numerous health challenges, including being diagnosed with a cardiac condition at the age of eight, enduring a minor stroke at 17, and temporarily losing her hearing in 2020. As the Who You Are singer bravely jokes about 'living her breast life' ahead of her surgery, here's a look at some of the health woes the star has had to endure... Cardiac and stroke Jessie opened up about her rare heart condition that has affected her since she's been a child. The health problem, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, caused her to suffer a minor stroke when she was aged just 17 years old. Explaining she first was diagnosed at the age of eight, the condition affects the electrical system of the heart and causes symptoms like irregular heartbeats, tightness and shortness of breath. The condition runs in her family and her dad also suffers from it. The Flashlight singer explained how her parents shaped her positive attitude from a young age, never allowing the condition to get the better of her. Speaking to Australian, 9Now, she said: 'I think my mum and dad never allowed me to be defined by something that was a weakness. Ever since I was young it was like, 'Just get on with it. You can do this'.' Addressing a cancer gala audience in New York in 2020, Jessie told the star-studded crowd that she wrote her song 'Who You Are' when she was 18, after she 'had just had a minor stroke," admitting: "I thought that I was never going to get better. 'I feel so lucky that I was given a second chance at life,' she continued. 'So every day when I am able to do this, you have no idea how amazing it feels that I'm so lucky to be onstage and singing and living my dream.' Waking up 'completely deaf' Jessie had another shock when she woke up one morning "completely deaf" and unable to walk in a straight line. She was later diagnosed with Meniere's disease, a chronic inner ear disorder that can cause vertigo and tinnitus. The singing sensation recalled her experience with the condition telling her followers during an Instagram live: "I woke up and felt like I was completely deaf in my right ear, couldn't walk in a straight line." Jessie added: "I know that a lot of people suffer from it and I've actually had a lot of people reach out to me and give me great advice, so I've just been laying low in silence. "Now's the first time I've been able to sing and bear it," the artist admitted. "I'm super grateful for my health. It just threw me off." Fertility struggle Jessie J is now a loving mum to her son, Sky Safir Cornish Colman, however before the happily family unit, with her partner Chanan Colman, she faced some heartbreaking news. Back in 2018, Jessie told the audience at her gig at the Royal Albert Hall she could never have children, revealing: "I was told four years ago that I can't ever have children." "I don't tell you guys for sympathy, because I'm one of millions of women and men that have gone through this and will go through this," Jessie told the crowd. Prior to performing her song, Four Letter Word, she continued: "If you've ever experienced anything with this or have seen somebody else go through it or have lost a child, then please know you're not alone in your pain and I'm thinking of you when I sing this song. "It's hard not to feel alone when dealing with fertility issues, but knowing that someone else has faced the same challenges can be a source of comfort." In 2021, Jessie suffered a miscarriage after deciding to have a baby on her own after being diagnosed with womb condition, adenomyosis. However, happily, the star did become a mum, two years ago when her beautiful son Sky was born. Revealing the happy news on Instagram, she shared: "A week ago my whole life changed. My son entered this world and my heart grew twice the size." Breast cancer diagnosis Jessie has revealed she's been diagnosed with "early breast cancer" and plans to undergo surgery after her performance at this month's Summertime Ball. The Domino star shared an Instagram video explaining that she's spent a lot of her recent time "in and out of tests". "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 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 sidelines has given me the most incredible perspective. BUT… Your girl needs a hug."
