"Unfortunately, I have to have a second surgery, nothing too serious, but it has to be done before the end of the year, and unfortunately that falls right in the middle of a tour that I had booked. Jessie J had been due to perform in the UK and Europe in October and in the US in November. She said the UK and Europe dates would be rescheduled to April 2026, while the US tour had been cancelled."
"At the time of her diagnosis, she decided to speak about it publicly to help her process the news and to show solidarity with others, explaining she wanted to be open and share it. Jessie J has faced serious health challenges throughout her life. She was diagnosed with a heart condition aged eight, suffered a minor stroke at 18, and temporarily lost her hearing in 2020."
"The singer-songwriter has topped the UK singles chart three times with Domino, Price Tag and Bang Bang. In 2011, she won four Mobo awards, including best UK act and best album for Who You Are, and the Brit award for rising star. She was also nominated for a Grammy in 2015 for her collaboration with Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj on Bang Bang."
Jessie J will undergo a second operation as part of her breast cancer treatment, requiring changes to her planned tour. UK and Europe dates originally scheduled for October have been moved to April 2026, while the US dates in November have been cancelled. The decision follows a June diagnosis and ongoing treatment. She described feeling frustrated and sad but emphasised the need to prioritise recovery and healing. She spoke publicly to help process the diagnosis and to show solidarity with others. Her past medical history includes a childhood heart condition, a minor stroke at 18, temporary hearing loss in 2020, and a 2023 birth after a 2021 miscarriage.
