Jessie J diagnosed with breast cancer as she plans to 'disappear for a bit'

Price Tag hitmaker Jessie J has been diagnosed with "early breast cancer", she has confirmed. The 37-year-old songstress opened up in a new Instagram video, confessing she has been "in and out of tests" in recent weeks. She explained: "I was diagnosed with early breast cancer. Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word 'early'.

"It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job. I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive t*ts and more music." Real name Jessica Cornish, Jessie went on: "I just wanted to be open and share it. One, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard.

"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. I'm an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse - that's the bit that kills me."

She continued: "The timing of it has been mad but also beautiful and given me this incredible perspective in this time. But 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."

In her Instagram caption, she wrote: "No (more) secrets and is it too soon to do a remix called 'Living my breast life'?

"All jokes aside (You know it's one of the ways I get through hard times) This last 2 months have been so amazing, and having this go on along side it on the sideline's has given me the most incredible perspective. BUT... Your girl needs a hug.

"Also not getting massive t*ts. Or am I? No no... I must stop joking."

Fans flocked to support her in the comments section, with her pop star pal Rita Ora penning: "You're 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."

Marvin Humes added: "Ain't no one stronger than you... you know you've got this..." Another social media user echoed: "Open book and open heart, we love you and support you always, sending you the best energy for a [speedy] recovery warrior!"
