Following her performance at this month’s Summertime Ball, Jessie J, who is well-known for Price Tag, Domino, and other tunes, has been diagnosed with early breast cancer and plans to undergo surgery.
Jessie J has received messages of support from celebrity friends – including Rochelle Humes – after announcing she has cancer.
The singer, 37, said she will have surgery after her performance at the Summertime Ball and remained optimistic she will return with more hits. However, she admitted she “needs a hug” through the difficult time, having been diagnosed with the breast cancer at an early stage.
Friends quickly shared messages of support, telling the songwriter how much they love her. Humes, who presents The Hit List with husband Marvin, said: “We love you so much.” Former Little Mix singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock added: “Sending you so much love” amid the flurry of public messages.
And Wretch 32, rapper by the name of Jermaine Scott, said, “You’re loved and you’re cared for, you fight my gangster.” “

Jessie J, born and raised in Chadwell Heath, east London, said in an Instagram video yesterday she has spent much of her recent time “in and out of tests”. She stressed, though, she is “holding on to the word ‘early'” and is looking at surgery in the coming weeks.
The musician, Jessica Ellen Cornish, who is actually her, claims she will still play at Wembley Stadium’s Capital’s Summertime Ball on Sunday, June 15. She joins Mariah Carey, Benson Boone, and Tate Mcrae as her fellow cast members.
Jessie J said in the Instagram video, “I just wanted to be open and share it… One, because I don’t talk about it enough, in my own selfish ways. Because I’m working so hard, I’m not getting through it.
I also understand how much sharing in the past has helped me because other people have shared their love, support, and personal stories with me. I’m a person of openness. That so many people are going through so much similar and worse is heartbreaking to me.
“It’s crazy but beautiful and it’s beautiful, and it’s given me this incredible perspective right now.” But to be honest, I need a hug and some reflection. You have supported me throughout all of my positive and negative experiences. And I’m not interested in this at all. “
The singer, who won the Critic’s Choice award at the Brits in 2011, welcomed her son, Sky Safir Cornish Colman, in 2023, having miscarried in November 2021. She has battled with ill health throughout her life, having been diagnosed with a heart condition aged eight, suffering a minor stroke aged 18 and having briefly gone deaf in 2020.
The recipient of a cancer diagnosis is a life-changing experience for anyone, according to Claire Taylor, the chief nursing officer at Macmillan Cancer Support.
