Pop star Jessie J revealed she was diagnosed with “early breast cancer,” telling fans that she is going to “disappear for a bit” after her upcoming concert to undergo surgery.
The “Price Tag” hitmaker, whose real name is Jessica Cornish, delivered the candid health update on her Instagram page on Tuesday.
“I was diagnosed with early breast cancer,” the “Domino” singer said. “I’m highlighting the word early. Cancer sucks in any form, but I’m holding onto the word early. I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period.”
The “Bang Bang” singer learned of her diagnosis two months ago, just before her single “No Secrets” was released in late April.
“I just wanted to be open and share it,” she added. “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.”
The Grammy nominee even pointed out the irony of her health battle.
“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.”
The “Flashlight” vocalist said she will undergo surgery and “disappear for a bit” after performing at the Summertime Ball in London on June 15.
Jessie J seemingly still has a sense of humor about the challenging situation.
“It’s a very dramatic way to get a boob job,” the songbird quipped.
The Billboard-charting artist also sympathized with others facing major health concerns.
“It breaks my heart that people are going through so much, similar and worse,” she said. “That’s the bit that kills me.”
“Just shared something super personal I’ve been holding onto for 9 weeks,” she later said on her Instagram story. “The timing of it has been mad but also beautiful and has given me this incredible perspective in this time. But honestly, I need to process it and talk about it, I need a hug. You have loved me through all my good and hard times. And I don’t want this to be any different.”
The European and UK “No Secrets Tour 2025” is still scheduled to begin in late summer, with the first show in Amsterdam, according to Jessie J’s website.
The Post reached out to Jessie J’s representatives for comment.
Jessie J has been open about her health struggles in the past, including contracting COVID-19 at one of her concerts and suffering a miscarriage in 2021.
She welcomed her first baby with her boyfriend Chanan Safir Colman, a retired Danish-Israeli basketball player, in May 2023.
