Jessie J is back in the spotlight and stronger than ever. Six months after her right-side mastectomy due to early-stage breast cancer, the singer reflected on her journey in the latest issue of Women's Health.

Posting the magazine cover on Instagram, Jessie J shared a candid update about her recovery, her perspective on life and her plans for the future.

“6 months yesterday I had a right side mastectomy… I will get them evened out when I’m ready. For now they are mates, not sisters,” Jessie J wrote, referring to her breast implants.

She added humor to her post, showing that despite her surgery, her spirit remains intact. Jessie J also revealed that the experience helped her prioritize her mental and physical well-being, writing about the lessons she’s learned, such as slowing down, enjoying life and laughing more.

Even during her recovery, Jessie J refused to step back from performing. She postponed her surgery in June to perform at Capital FM’s Summertime Ball, an act that she admits annoyed some family and friends.

“I [expletive] off a lot of people by postponing my surgery to do that show,” she said. “But I knew doing the show was going to impact me personally, as Jessica. We’re not handcuffed to having to sit down and be quiet and cry because we’ve got cancer. I’m going to sing ‘Bang Bang’ as loud as I can.”

Jessie J returned to the stage in September for her first live show post-surgery, and her emotional appearance at BBC Radio 2 In The Park in Chelmsford showed her fans how much she values connecting with them.

“I’m still very much in the recovery process, but I’m definitely not ready to stop,” she said on stage.

Jessie J’s cancer diagnosis came in March 2025, just as she was preparing to release her first new music in eight years. Her recovery was supported by a combination of private healthcare, her partner Chanan Colman, and their two-year-old son, Sky.

Jessie J emphasized the importance of building a support system, saying she reached out to fellow breast cancer survivor Davina McCall to share advice on coping.

Jessie J’s Message to Fans

Beyond sharing her personal journey, Jessie J aims to inspire others to take charge of their health. She’s openly encouraged women to check their breasts, reflecting on the impact her openness has had on fans: “I hear all the time from people who say that a friend checked her breasts after seeing me talking about it. They found a lump, and it’s cancer, but they’ve caught it early.”

Her new album, Don’t Tease Me With A Good Time, reflects her life experiences, from heartbreak to resilience. Jessie J’s career and advocacy demonstrate that even after health challenges, she continues to create music with purpose.

“If I get women to check their boobs and walk away from dickheads, my work is done,” she said with a laugh, emphasizing her commitment to both awareness and empowerment.

As Jessie J looks ahead, her plans include continuing her tour in the US, China and Europe, performing at festivals, and celebrating 15 years since her debut album. Despite the challenges of 2025, Jessie J’s message is clear: stay strong, live fully and use every experience to inspire others.
