The 37-year-old singer shared her diagnosis with a video on social media. She said she’ll will take a break from music in order to have surgery.

Jessie J revealed on her Instagram that she has spent a lot of time “in and out of tests” and will “disappear for a bit” after performing at Capital Radio’s Summertime Ball later this month to have surgery.

“I was diagnosed with early breast cancer,” the 37-year-old said during the video.

“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.”

The price tag singer revealed that her sharing this unfortunate news allows her to better process the news and share solidarity with others going through similar experiences.

“I just wanted to be open and share it,” she said.

“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.”

She continued: “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.”
