LONDON — In an emotional and heartfelt video posted on Instagram yesterday, British pop sensation Jessie J revealed she has been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. The 37-year-old singer, known for her powerhouse vocals and chart-topping hits like Price Tag and Domino, shared that she received the diagnosis two months ago—just weeks before the release of her latest single, No Secrets.
The announcement came with a candid mix of strength and vulnerability. “I’m holding on to the word ‘early,’” Jessie said in the video, assuring fans that the cancer was caught at an early stage. She is scheduled to undergo surgery in the coming days.
Despite the diagnosis, the pop star remains committed to her music. She will honor her upcoming performance at Capital’s Summertime Ball in London on June 15 before stepping back from public engagements to focus on recovery.
“I’ve decided to share this now because I know I’m not alone,” Jessie told her followers. “I want to connect, not hide.”
In true Jessie J fashion, the singer infused a touch of humor into the serious subject, referring to her upcoming operation as a “very dramatic way to get a boob job.”
Jessie has long been open about her health journey. In recent years, she has spoken publicly about her miscarriage in 2021 and, more recently, her diagnoses of ADHD and OCD in 2024. Her honesty and resilience have garnered deep admiration from fans around the globe.
Social media has since been flooded with an outpouring of support from fellow artists, fans, and public figures, all offering words of love and encouragement.
As Jessie prepares for surgery and recovery, her much-anticipated No Secrets Tour 2025 remains scheduled to begin later this summer, signaling the singer’s determination to return stronger than ever.
