Jessie J was emotional as she announced the Capital Summertime Ball would be her last show before she undergoes surgery for breast cancer
Jessie J got emotional as she announced a break from music to undergo breast cancer surgery. The singer performed at the Summertime Ball today at London’s Wembley Stadium.
As she took to the stage, Jessie paid a tearful tribute to those who had supported her after she announced she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. She said: “Today, this show is my last show before I go to beat breast cancer! So it’s so special to me you have no idea. I feel so special to be from the UK, to be an honest person and say how you feel.
“This is my last show before go treatment and all the things It’s the most special thing and I’m so grateful for this life, for you guys, for my career, to my, my son. My partner, my parents. My family, my band, my crew.”
She concluded the emotional speech: “We are so lucky, we have so much to live for, so much joy, so much, so many things to do.”
Jessie announced recently that she had been diagnosed with “early breast cancer”. She said in a video shared with fans: “I was diagnosed with early breast cancer. Cancer sucks in any form, but I’m holding on to the word ‘early’.
“It’s a very dramatic way to get a boob job. I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive tits and more music. I just wanted to be open and share it.”
She added: “One, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. I’m not processing it because I’m working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories.
“I’m an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse-that’s the bit that kills me.. The timing of it has been mad but also beautiful and given me this incredible perspective in this time. But honestly I need to process it and talk about it and, I need a hug. You have loved me through all my good and hard times. And I don’t want this to be any different.”
Jessie will undergo surgery following her last concert at the Summertime Ball today. She has a young son called Sky Safir Cornish Colman, who she welcomed into the world in 2023 after experiencing the heartache of a miscarriage in November 2021.
