Overview

  • Speaking on Jamie Laing’s Great Company podcast released Aug. 19, the 37-year-old singer says she misses being present for her two-year-old son, Sky, whom she shares with partner Chanan Safir Colman.
  • She recalls initially being told a breast lump was likely a cyst before tests showed roughly 4–5 cm of cancer, prompting moments when she feared she would die.
  • Jessie J underwent a full mastectomy in June and says she replayed the euphoria of her pre-surgery Summertime Ball performance as she was put under anesthesia.
  • She notes she will need another operation later this year, with further care focused on implant symmetry.
  • Looking ahead, she says the experience has sharpened her goals, including releasing new music on Aug. 29 and pursuing projects like writing books and a children’s album.
