Jessie J Played Show Right After Breast Biopsies Amid Cancer Diagnosis

In the caption, Jessie shared that she was “in some discomfort” after the five biopsies but wanted to make sure the show continued. “I was so hyped to do it and I didn’t want to cancel,” she said. “The more I watch this show back I can see my brain working in complete over drive trying not to blurt it all out.”

She added: “Laughing and making jokes in hard times 🤝🏻 me.”

On Wednesday, Jessie revealed the news about her health, stressing that she had been diagnosed with “early” breast cancer. “I’m highlighting the word ‘early,’” she said. “Cancer sucks in any form, but I’m holding on to the word early. I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period.”

Jessie said she shared her diagnosis to help herself process it and connect with others, saying openness brings support. “I’m getting to keep my nipples. That’s good,” she said, later adding: “I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball [on June 15] to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive tits and more music.”

On her Instagram Stories, the singer said she had been holding onto the cancer news for nine weeks, admitting she needed “to process it and talk about it.”
