Price Tag singer Jessie J, 37, said she has spent much of her recent time ‘in and out of tests’ and plans to undergo surgery to remove the lump after her performance at this month’s Summertime Ball
Singer Jessie J 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 37 year old Price Tag singer shared in an Instagram video that she’s spent a lot of her recent time “in and out of tests”.
“I was diagnosed with early breast cancer,” 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 tits and more music.”
Jessie, whose full name is Jessica Cornish, 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.”
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.”
Fans and famous friends were quick to send Jessie some love in the comment section underneath her video, with presenter Gaby Roslin telling the star: “Sending you so much love and enormous hugs.” Rita Ora added: “Your [sic] literally my favourite person and I’m praying for you you’ve got this. my mother had it and I know the surgery and any treatment on this matter is mentally tough so I’m here for you. X”
Jessie J welcomed her son, Sky Safir Cornish Colman, 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.
Fans can next see Jessie perform live at Capital’s Summertime Ball held at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, June 15.
