Jessie J’s Cancer Battle
The singer announced her cancer diagnosis back in June. That same month, she played her final planned show before starting treatment.
During her set, she told the crowd how “special” the performance was to her, before sharing what she’s grateful for.
“My family, my band, my crew,” she said. “We are so lucky, we have so much to live for, so much joy, so much, so many things to do.”
“One of my favourite shows I have ever done in the past 15 years of this beautiful crazy life of mine. Wow,” she wrote on Instagram after her performance. “The love 80,000 people showed me yesterday was the exact definition of 🫀🔋. Thank you.”
“I will never forget that moment ever. I am so lucky to feel that support,” Jessie J added. “And anyone else going through cancer right now. I am sharing it with you. I’m throwing hands at my cancer and yours.”
Shortly thereafter, Jessie J shared a post about “the honest lows and highs” she experienced in the days surrounding her surgery.
“Still hugging everyone going through something tough right now,” she wrote in part. “We all got this!”
