British singer Jessie J has revealed she recently underwent surgery following her breast cancer diagnosis earlier this month. In an emotional social media post on Monday night, the 37-year-old shared photos and videos from her hospital stay, capturing intimate moments both before and after her surgery.
Describing her post as showing “the honest lows and highs of the last 48 hours,” Jessie thanked her doctor, surgeon, and “all the nurses who cared for me.” She is now recovering at home while awaiting test results.
Jessie J first shared her diagnosis in early June, receiving widespread public support. She had planned to undergo surgery shortly after performing at Capital’s Summertime Ball, held on June 15 at Wembley Stadium.
Her update featured candid clips, including a video of her singing while waiting to be taken into surgery. In another moment, she joked that the fluid in her post-surgery drainage bottle looked like a “goji berry smoothie.” She also shared touching images of her partner, basketball player Chanan Safir Colman, and their son visiting her in hospital.
Throughout the post, Jessie offered encouragement to others facing health battles, writing, “Still hugging everyone going through something tough right now. We all got this!”
Messages of support quickly followed across social media. TV presenter Gaby Roslin commented, “Sending you strength, energy and so much love you beautiful soul.” Fellow musician Marvin Humes added, “I know Sky will be keeping you smiling and giving you strength… You’re an absolute warrior.”
Jessie J previously explained that going public with her diagnosis helped her process the experience and show solidarity with others going through similar challenges.
