Singer Jessie J reveals she's been detected with breast cancer at an early stage
In casual chat style:
Yo, 'eard the news 'bout Jessie J, eh? This English pop sensation's got some tough times a-comin', it seems. She's revealed that she's been slapped with an early diagnosis of breast cancer and she'll be undergoing surgery following her performance at the London musical shindig, Capital's Summertime Ball, next weekend.
She dropped the bombshell during an Insta video on Wednesday (Jun 4). With a grim tone, she shared, "I've been tagged with early breast cancer, mate. Cancer's a right pain, but I'm hangin' onto the word 'early.'"
She's got a pretty cheeky sense of humor, too — swearing and joking about getting a "massive boob job" out of the whole ordeal. "I'll be out of commission for a bit after Summertime Ball to get this surgery sorted, but I'll be back with a vengeance and more tunes," she promised.
The Summertime Ball's guessin' to go down at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, Jun 15.
She showed some serious courage, opening up about her diagnosis, stating,"I wanted to keep it real and share it. One, because I don't talk about it enough. And two, I know how comforting it can be for people to share their stories and support each other in times of crisis."
With a load of Grammy noms and a couple of smash hits like Bang Bang (with Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande) and Domino, Jessie J's got a solid music career under her belt. She's released five LPs so far, most recently a Christmas album, This Christmas Day, in '18. She's been dishin' out new beats in 2025, including Living My Best Life and No Secrets, and fan theories suggest she's got a new album danglin' on the horizon this year.
Miss J's raised a lad named Sky, born in '23.
She hasn't spilled the beans on this latest development to the press yet, but her peeps aren't respondin' to The Associated Press's requests for comment as of now.
Now here's where things get real. Early-stage breast cancer can mean a potentially brighter destination down the road, as treatments like surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy may help put this sucker in its place. But the specifics of Jessie J's case and her recovery timeline are still under wraps. Cheers to her, her grit, and her ability to turn a challenge into an opportunity to share her experiences, offering support, encouragement, and inspiration to others.
Science is crucial in providing effective treatments for breast cancer, and Jessie J's mental health, along with women's health, will undoubtedly be significant areas of focus during her recovery. Her bravery in sharing her diagnosis serves as a testament to the importance of openness about health issues, especially in the realm of health-and-wellness.
