Jessie J Undergoes Surgery Due to Breast Cancer Diagnosis

Pop icon Jessie J has announced that she recently had surgery for breast cancer and is now recuperating at her residence while waiting for additional results.

In a candid social media post, the 37-year-old singer expressed heartfelt gratitude to her doctor, surgeon, and the nurses who cared for her. She accompanied the message with a series of personal photos and videos taken during her time in hospital.

Describing the post as a reflection of “the honest lows and highs of the last 48 hours,” Jessie reaffirmed her commitment to sharing “both the good and hard parts of any journey” she experiences.

The Essex-born artist had first shared news of her early-stage breast cancer diagnosis in early June, receiving an outpouring of support from fellow musicians and fans alike. She mentioned at the time that she would undergo surgery following her appearance at Capital’s Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium on June 15.

In her most recent update, she uploaded pictures of her partner, Chanan Safir Colman, and their son visiting her at the hospital, as well as a video of herself singing from her hospital bed before the operation. Another playful scene displayed her with a post-surgery drainage bottle, which she humorously compared to a “goji berry smoothie.”

Throughout her message, Jessie emphasized her gratitude to the medical staff and offered encouragement to others facing challenges:

“Still hugging everyone going through something tough right now. We all got this!”

Messages of encouragement swiftly followed. TV host Gaby Roslin remarked, “Wishing you power, vitality, and a lot of love, you wonderful spirit.” Singer Marvin Humes noted, “I believe Sky will keep you uplifted and provide you with strength… You are truly a fighter.”

Upon revealing her diagnosis, Jessie shared that she opted for a public disclosure to aid in managing the situation and to show support for others facing comparable challenges.
