The singer said she would be undergoing surgery after performing at the Summertime Ball in London on June 15. "It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job," she joked. She told fans she was hesitant about going public about her diagnosis but that she decided to be "open" for multiple reasons. She said: "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." The Grammy nominee, who also shared her ADHD and OCD diagnoses with fans earlier this year, added that she hoped to show solidarity with other cancer patients. She said: "It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse — that's the bit that kills me." Referring to her latest tracks No Secrets and Living My Best Life, she said "you can't make it up" - explaining she had no idea about her diagnosis at the time of recording. Fans and fellow celebs jumped into the comments to share their support. TV and radio personality Gaby Roslin said: "Sending you so much love and enormous hugs". One fan added: "Love you and your light! This won't dim you down". While another said: "You are not alone. May your recovery be gentle, peaceful, and full of healing. Sending you a tight hug and all the love my heart can carry." 6 Jessie revealed her breast cancer diagnosis last week Credit: instagram/@jessiej 6 The star playfully added that corn on the cobs are helping 'shift her mood' Credit: instagram/@jessiej

Jessie J had 'worst day so far' since cancer diagnosis
Singer Jessie J has said she had her "worst day so far" since her breast cancer diagnosis, saying she struggled with "panic attacks, tears, big fears, anger and overwhelm". The British music star revealed last week that she had been diagnosed with "early breast cancer" and that she would have surgery after performing at London's Summertime Ball. Taking to Instagram Stories at the weekend, the 37-year-old singer updated her followers, writing: "Honestly, had my worst day so far yesterday since my diagnosis and the busiest three months I have had in years. Work. Toddler. Cancer. Life etc had my mind [drained]. "Panic attacks / tears / big fears/ anger / overwhelm. Bad. And you know what helped? "I ate a corn on the cob. Turns out it's extremely hard to panic or cry while eating one. Highly recommend. Instead (sic) mood shift." She added: "Tomorrow is a new day. The [rollercoaster] of cancer is [draining]. I won't be just talking about the highlights. And making jokes all the time. That isn't real life. Goodnight." Returning to Instagram on Monday, the singer shared some more thoughts, writing: "IMO [in my opinion]. It's [key] to acknowledge fear anger sadness panic overwhelm and let it come up and come out. "Holding it in won't make it go away. In any challenging situation in life. "So when I posted what I did yesterday about my current challenge in life, also while making light of the situation. "That was one day in 10 weeks that I just lost it and was completely drowned in all the negative and bed feelings any cancer journey can bring. Which is healthy and needed." "I say this because I have had a lot of people since I posted that say to me things like 'Don't think about the negative' and 'To beat this you have to stay strong', 'Good thoughts only', and don't get me wrong I know all are meant with well intention and love. "But it's sparked me thinking about how interesting it is in what we individually see as being strong is. I have always advocated for being real. Honest in your feelings. We cannot heal what we don't acknowledge." She continued: "So I will cry, I will be scared, I will panic, I will feel all of it for a minute or even a full day. "And then eat a [corn on the cob] or listen to a song that lifts me up or laugh with a friend. And then go and be a mum, and go to work and show up and be what I feel 90% of the time. "Strong, fearless, healthy, and make some jokes about it all because that's my way. But I will not ignore the 10% that is fear and the sadness."

Jessie J has early breast cancer, will have surgery soon
Singer Jessie J has breast cancer. Early breast cancer, mind you, and she's taking care of it as soon as possible. 'I'm highlighting the word 'early,'' she said Tuesday via video on Instagram. 'Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on the word early.'' The 'Bang Bang' artist also joked that it was 'a very dramatic way to get a boob job.' The pop star and coach on the Australian version of 'The Voice' has been undergoing tests in private, she said. In a little less than two weeks, after a radio station-sponsored music mini-festival at Wembley Stadium in London, she will undergo surgery. 'I just want to [exhale] and just let you guys know, it wasn't something I'd planned, but yeah, I'm getting to keep my nipples,' she said. 'That's good. It's a weird topic and a weird situation and I know that the press are gonna say crazy stuff.' It was the expected media attention that held up her announcement for a bit, she said, because she had been going 'back and forth' about whether to reveal her situation, knowing that celebrity outlets were likely to turn 'early' into something much more ominous. She also said she was 'not processing it' because she was working so hard. '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,' the 37-year-old marveled. That said, Jessie J is a 'sharer,' she explained, and an 'open book.' Maybe a little too open? 'I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive t—,' she said on camera, 'and more music.' But her own Instagram caption countered that salacious prediction. 'Also not getting massive t—,' she wrote. 'Or am I? No no… I must stop joking.' Joining Jessie J in the 2025 Summertime Ball lineup are Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff, Mariah Carey, Benson Boone, Tate McRae, Myles Smith, Lola Young, KSI, JADE, Renee Rapp, Rita Ora, Dasha and more. 'All jokes aside (You know it's one of the ways I get through hard times),' she wrote on Instagram. '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.' ___ © 2025 Los Angeles Times. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Jessie J emotional gig words hinted at star's cancer weeks before announcement
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 Singer Jessie J appeared to drop a huge hint about her cancer diagnosis last Price Tag star, 37, shocked fans this week by revealing she has early stage breast cancer and is holding on to the word 'early' and plans to undergo surgery after her performance at this month's Summertime Ball. The revelation made her words at her intimate North London concert on May 20 seem all the more poignant and significant. 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. Just weeks earlier she told gig-goers at Union Chapel that she was putting herself first and wanted to have fun. Jessie said on stage: '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. '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.' When she introduced her new single No Secrets, she also seemed to be referencing her cancer battle. Jessie said: 'This song for me, more so than ever right now, is getting me through my life.' Earlier this week, the former Voice UK coach told her 13.9 million Instagram followers: 'Before No Secrets came out, I was diagnosed with early breast cancer. I'm highlighting the word 'early' – cancer sucks in any form – but I'm holding on to the word 'early'. I have been in and out of tests this whole period.' No Secrets details Jessie's relationship with fame and her heartbreaking 2021 miscarriage, which she has since spoken openly about. Jessie, who is performing at Wembley Stadium next Sunday, told fans she would then 'disappear for a bit' to have surgery. But the singer said that despite her diagnosis, she still feels like she has found her 'happy ending'. Jessie and basketball player Chanan Colman welcomed their first child, son Sky, in May 2023. Talking about her song Sunflower, which is yet to be officially released, Jessie said: 'I wrote this song about my boy – the happiest boy in the world unless he hasn't had enough snacks. He is the love of my life, the joy of my day… I jump out of bed at 5am to make him something to eat and then wait for him to wake up. 'I never thought I would live this life… I prayed for it for so long. The joy it brings me is overwhelming. I hope anyone who has that same feeling in their heart gets their happy ending. It's magic.
