Jessie J has been diagnosed with breast cancer in an early stage. “Cancer in any form is terrible, but I’m holding on to the word ‘early’,” the British singer says on Instagram.
Jessie J hesitated to share her diagnosis with the public. Ultimately, she decided to do so. “Sharing helps. I also know how much that has helped me in the past. To share my story with people who give me their love and support and also share their own stories.”
The 37-year-old singer also wants to show her solidarity with others who have cancer. “It breaks my heart that so many people are going through something similar or worse. That breaks me.”
Jessie J will undergo surgery after her performance in London on June 15. “I will disappear from the radar for a while for my surgery, and then I will come back with more music.”
The singer is known for hits like Price Tag, Domino, and Flashlight.
