Jessie J has revealed she’s had surgery for breast cancer, and she’s not sugarcoating the journey.
The 36-year-old powerhouse vocalist, known for hits like Price Tag and Domino, took to social media last night to share an emotional update following her early breast cancer diagnosis at the start of June.
Posting a raw collection of photos and videos from her hospital bed, Jessie wrote that she wanted to give fans a real look into the "honest lows and highs of the last 48 hours", thanking the medical team that looked after her.

"Thank you to my doctor, surgeon, and all the nurses who cared for me. I’m home now, resting, and waiting on my results."
Jessie, who had delayed the surgery until after her electric performance at Capital’s Summertime Ball on June 15 at Wembley Stadium, has been praised for her openness and bravery. In a music industry that often prizes perfection, she’s choosing vulnerability.
The post also included touching moments with her partner, basketball player Chanan Safir Colman, and their son, who were seen visiting her in hospital. It’s clear her family is her rock, and she called their presence “everything” during this difficult time.
Since revealing her diagnosis earlier this month, Jessie has received an outpouring of support from fellow artists, fans,the wider public. Her willingness to speak openly about such a personal health battle is helping raise awareness for early detection and self-checks.

As she continues to recover at home and awaits further results, fans are rallying behind her, sending messages of love, hope, and strength.
For someone who has never been afraid to use her voice, both on stage and off, Jessie J is now using it to shine a light on an issue that affects millions, proving once again that her greatest strength might just be her honesty.
