Jessie J, 37, shared the news in an Instagram video on
Wednesday. “I was diagnosed with early breast cancer,” she said
in the clip. “Cancer sucks in any form, but I’m holding onto 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 (expletive) and more music.”
The annual Summertime Ball will be held at Wembley Stadium on
Sunday, June 15.
She told her social media audience that she felt compelled to
share her diagnosis.
“I just wanted to be open and share it,” 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. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through
so much similar and worse – that’s the bit that kills me.”
The Grammy-nominated Jessie J has long been celebrated for her
robust soprano and R&B-informed pop hits, like the 2014
collaboration with Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande, “Bang Bang,”
and 2011's “Domino.”
She has released five albums across her career, most recently,
2018's Christmas album, “This Christmas Day.” She has been
releasing new music in 2025, including the singles “Living My
Best Life” and “No Secrets.” A new album is expected later this
year.
She has a son, Sky Safir Cornish Colman, born in 2023.
A representative for Jessie J did not immediately respond to The
Associated Press' request for comment.
