Jessie J, a pop star, struggled to keep her emotions on stage while playing songs from her new album, which reveal her tragic miscarriage from 2021.
Jessie J was seen breaking down in tears on stage as she performed a heartbreaking new song. The pop icon was playing tracks from her new album Don’t Tease Me with a Good Time in London ahead of its release on Friday, November 28, when she was overcome with emotion.
Jessie has battled a hard time in recent years after she had a miscarriage in 2021 and underwent surgery for breast cancer in June. Introducing her new track, Comes in Waves – which was inspired by her miscarriage – Jessie spoke about the grief of losing of her baby.
She told the audience: “Today marks four years that I lost my baby. I don’t know if anyone has gone through the same thing, but if you have, or you know someone close to you and you saw it, it’s really f**king bad.”
You can never really prepare for something that you can’t even begin to experience in the video, which was made available to the Daily Mail. Anyone who needs a hug should listen to this song. I hope this song has the same impact on you as it has on me. As she performed the song, Jessica was later seen stepping out of the audience and wiping tears from her face. The lyrics read, “It comes in waves, like I’m drowning in a love you gave to me/And I hate how much I miss the future we never made.
Jessie shared in an Instagram post back in November 2021 that she had “decided to have a baby on my own” but following her third scan she was told “there was no longer a heartbeat.”
She uploaded a photo of herself holding a positive pregnancy test and wrote: “Yesterday morning I was laughing with a friend saying ‘seriously though how am I going to get through my gig in LA tomorrow night without telling the whole audience I am pregnant.’ By yesterday afternoon I was dreading the thought of getting through the gig without breaking down. After going for my 3rd scan and being told there was no longer a heartbeat.”
She gave birth to her son Sky with her boyfriend Chanan Safir Colman in May 2023, two years after the heartache. While promoting her first independent single No Secrets in March, she openly discussed her miscarriage.
Speaking to People about the song’s opening line, which reads, “I lost my baby/ But the show must go on, right”? Through her sincere lyrics about the miscarriage, she confessed wanting to have a “face-to-face, eye contact conversation” with her listeners.
She said: “That obviously it relates to me and what I’ve been through. But as adults in this crazy world, we are all going through heartbreak, loss, grief, trauma — and all have to get up and go and do something, look after someone, be present or go to work to pay our bills. All of us have to put that sadness somewhere, store it and continue.” Don’t Tease Me with a Good Time is now out.
