Jessie J reveals breast cancer diagnosis

Jessie J is sharing a "super personal" health update with fans.

The singer, 37, revealed in an Instagram video on Tuesday, June 3, that she has been diagnosed with "early" breast cancer. She said she received the diagnosis prior to the release of her song "No Secrets," which debuted in April.

"Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word 'early,'" she told followers. "I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period."

In the clip, Jessie J said she was debating whether to announce the diagnosis knowing "the media are going to make this way bigger than it needs to be." But she said that she wanted "to share it with my fans and the people that care about me," noting that sharing has helped her in the past and that she is "not processing" the situation "because I'm working so hard."

"It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse," she added.

The Grammy-nominated artist said she plans to "disappear for a bit" to undergo surgery after the upcoming Summertime Ball on June 15, but vowed to return with more new music. She also quipped, "It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job."

In an Instagram story, Jessie J said the "super personal" health news is something she has been "holding onto for 9 weeks," adding, "Honestly I need to process it and talk about it and, I need a hug. You have loved me through all my good and hard times. And I don't want this to be any different."

Numerous fans and fellow artists alike quickly sent support in the comments of the Instagram video, with Rita Ora writing, "Your (sic) literally my favourite person and I'm praying for you you've got this. My mother had it and I know the surgery and any treatment on this matter is mentally tough so I'm here for you." Katy Perry also commented, "Love you! We all are sending healing energy to youuu."
