Jessie J Undergoes Surgery Following 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 latest update, she posted images of her partner, Chanan Safir Colman, and their son visiting her in the hospital, along with a video of herself singing from her hospital bed prior to surgery. Another light-hearted clip showed her holding a post-operative drainage bottle, which she joked resembled a “goji berry smoothie.”

In her communication, Jessie consistently expressed her appreciation toward the healthcare team and provided support to those dealing with difficulties.

“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.”

When announcing her diagnosis, Jessie explained she chose to go public to help process the experience and to stand in solidarity with others navigating similar struggles.
