Jessie J Opens Up on TV After Tearful Year-End Post About Cancer Recovery

The singer says she is letting emotions surface as she continues recovery from a June mastectomy, with new music out and touring shifted into 2026.

Overview

  • On Dec. 30, she shared a teary Instagram Story saying she has been "crying a lot" and feeling the lowest she has in a while after a hard year.
  • During Jools Holland’s Hootenanny, she discussed her reconstructive surgery with frank humor and urged viewers not to define life by their worst days.
  • She announced early-stage breast cancer in June and had a mastectomy shortly after, later reporting recovery following a suspected pulmonary blood clot.
  • Jessie J has indicated she will need a second breast surgery in the near future, which has influenced her scheduling.
  • Professionally, she returned to the stage in September, released her first album in eight years in November, and moved UK and Europe tour dates to 2026 while canceling the U.S. leg.
