Jessie J has revealed that she’s been diagnosed with “early breast cancer.”
The “Price Tag” singer shared the news in a Tuesday Instagram post where she said she received the diagnosis before releasing her new single “No Secrets” from her upcoming sixth studio album.
“Before ‘No Secrets’ came out, I was diagnosed with early breast cancer,” she said. “I’m highlighting the word ‘early.’ Cancer sucks in any form, but I’m holding on to the word early.”

The Grammy nominee added that she “just wanted to be open and share it” partly “because selfishly I do not talk about it enough, I’m not processing it because I’m working so hard.” Jessie J also noted that she wanted to open up about the health diagnosis because “I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories.”
She continued, “And I know the press are going to say crazy stuff but you know what, to get diagnosed with this as I’m putting out a song called ‘No Secrets’ right before a song called ‘Living My Best Life,’ which was all pre-planned before I found out about this,” she said, before adding, “I mean you can’t make it up.”
The English singer rose to prominence in the early-to-mid 2010s with hit tracks including “Domino” and “Bang Bang,” which she collaborated with Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj on the latter track, too, which earned Jessie J her sole Grammy nomination.
