Jessie J breaks down in tears after receiving life changing cancer test results

Jessie J has announced that she is cancer free nearly 11 months after publicly revealing her breast cancer diagnosis. The singer shared the emotional update with fans on Instagram on May 21, posting a video from a recent hospital visit alongside a heartfelt caption describing the relief she felt after receiving the results.

Jessie J, born Jessica Cornish, first disclosed in June 2025 that she had been diagnosed with what she described as early breast cancer. At the time, the singer was preparing to release her album Don’t Tease Me With A Good Time and explained that she would undergo surgery shortly afterwards. She later confirmed she had a mastectomy as part of her treatment.

In her latest social media update, Jessie documented her return to hospital for a yearly checkup and MRI scan. Speaking candidly in the video, the singer admitted she felt extremely nervous before the appointment and joked about her claustrophobia while preparing for the scan. She also used humour to ease the tension, something that has become part of how she has publicly approached her health journey over the past year.

The video ended before her test results were revealed, but the singer later shared the outcome in the caption accompanying the post. Jessie announced that doctors had confirmed she was cancer free and described bursting into tears after hearing the news. She said she cried for hours before finally feeling able to exhale properly for the first time in a year.

Over recent months, Jessie has spoken publicly about the emotional and physical changes she experienced following surgery. During a stop on her NO SECRETS TOUR in New York earlier this year, the singer reflected on how dramatically her perspective had shifted after the diagnosis. She described the period as one of the most difficult yet transformative experiences of her life.

While speaking on stage, Jessie mixed humour with honesty, joking that receiving a breast cancer diagnosis shortly before releasing new music was the rudest thing her body could have done. She also addressed the challenges of adapting physically after surgery, making light hearted comments about the changes caused by her mastectomy.

The singer explained that the experience forced both her personal identity and public persona to merge in unexpected ways. She said Jessica and Jessie J had to support each other through the difficult period, balancing life as a performer, mother, daughter, friend, and partner simultaneously.

Jessie shares her son Sky with basketball player Chanan Safir Colman, and she has frequently credited her family and close support system for helping her through treatment.

The singer also used recent performances to encourage others facing illness or cancer treatment. Jessie urged people going through similar experiences to hold on and surround themselves with positivity, support, and good energy whenever possible.

Her latest health update marks a major milestone after months of uncertainty and recovery, with fans now celebrating the singer’s long awaited positive news.
