British singer Jessie J has revealed that she had been recently diagnosed with “early breast cancer.”
The musician (born Jessica Cornish) shared the health update on social media on Tuesday (June 3), telling her followers that the diagnosis came shortly before the release of recent single “No Secrets” in April. “I’m highlighting the word ‘early,’” she explained. “Cancer sucks in any form but I’m holding on to the word ‘early.’”
As she continued, she revealed that she’s been “in and out of tests” in the time since, but has decided to share her story with the world in an attempt to be more open about her journey, and also to give herself a chance to process the reality of her situation.
“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,” she explained. “I’m an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much – similar and worse.”
“I’m getting to keep my nipples, that’s good,” she continued. “It’s a weird topic and a weird situation. And I know the press are going to say crazy stuff but you know what, to get diagnosed with this as I’m putting out a song called ‘No Secrets’ right before a song called ‘Living My Best Life,’ which was all pre-planned before I found out about this, I mean, you can’t make it up.”
Indeed, Jessie J’s news comes shortly after the release of her single “Living My Best Life,” which arrived on May 16. In the caption to her Instagram post, the singer added levity to her situation, writing “No (more) Secrets and is it too soon to do a remix called ‘Living my breast life’?”
In closing her video to fans, Jessie J explained that she will “disappear for a bit” to undergo surgery following her performance at the Summertime Ball in England on June 15.
Jessie J’s decision to be open and honest with her health journey aligns with her comments from July, in which she revealed a recent diagnosis of obsessive compulsive behavior (OCD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity (ADHD).
“It’s empowered me and honestly sometimes has overwhelmed me all at the same time,” she explained, noting that the information had made her think about her life in a whole new way. “If there is one thing social media has given me, it’s the chance to relate, connect and heal with strangers that have kind hearts and are going through a similar thing.
“I have always been honest in the journey I’m going through in life.”
