breast cancer diagnosis |

British singer has announced she must undergo a second surgery after |
|
being diagnosed with breast cancer, forcing her to postpone her |
|
upcoming tour. |
|
|
|
“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,” she said |
|
in a posted on Instagram Thursday. |
|
|
|
The 37-year-old singer, whose real name is Jessica Ellen Cornish, |
|
announced in June that she had been diagnosed with “early breast |
|
cancer.” |
|
|
|
She underwent surgery later that month and that she is “ok” and has |
|
“no cancer spread.” |
|
|
|
But undergoing another surgery later this year means the singer must |
|
reschedule her planned tour of the United Kingdom, Europe and the |
|
United States. |
|
|
|
She did not go into detail about the upcoming procedure, though she she |
|
needs another surgery to make her breasts look more similar after her |
|
mastectomy. |
|
|
|
“I’m living in the moment, I’m embracing the moment and I’m |
|
flying with the vibes, so it is what it is, and I’m sorry,” she |
|
added. “I feel frustrated and sad … I need to be better, I need to |
|
be healed, and I know this is the right decision to make.” |
|
|
|
Jessie J said the European leg of her tour had been rescheduled from |
|
October to April 2026 but that the American leg — originally planned |
|
for November — is canceled for now because she and her team haven’t |
|
yet been able to find a window of time that matches their preferred |
|
venues. |
|
|
|
“Please bear with us for the US tour,” she said. “It’s |
|
something I want to do but when the time is right, so it might be a |
|
little later in the year, it might even be a little earlier, I don’t |
|
know yet. |
|
|
|
“I’m trying to do my best, I’m trying to compartmentalize all the |
|
different things that are happening in my life and where I have to give |
|
the energy,” she added. “I have to heal. So, forgive me, I’m |
|
sorry, this sucks, but I know you guys probably knew this was |
|
coming.” |
