Jessie J Reveals Breast Cancer Diagnosis Amid Ongoing Career Commitments
The British singer announces her early-stage breast cancer diagnosis on social media, highlighting the importance of openness and community support.
On June 4, 2025, British singer Jessie J took to Instagram to disclose her recent diagnosis of early-stage breast cancer.
In her post, she expressed her fortitude by stating, "Cancer is a bummer, but I hold on to the word 'early.'" With a touch of humor, she referred to the upcoming surgery, saying, "It's a slightly dramatic way to have a boob job, but I'll be back with massive breasts and a lot of music." Despite her health challenges, Jessie J confirmed her commitment to perform at the Summertime Ball before her surgery.
She emphasized the necessity of sharing her diagnosis candidly, stating, "I need to process it and talk about it, and I need a hug.
People have loved me through my good and bad times, and I don't want this to be different."
In her message, she reflected on the emotional weight of her situation, acknowledging the pain of knowing that many others face similar or even more serious challenges.
"What really gets me is knowing that so many people are going through the same or worse," she wrote.
Jessie J has previously faced significant health challenges.
As a young person, she suffered from heart issues, experienced a stroke at the age of 18, and was diagnosed with Ménière’s disease in 2020. In 2023, she welcomed her son, Sky Safir Cornish Colman, with basketball player Chanan Safir Colman.
Separately, the Costa Rican Social Security Fund (CCSS) announced a vaccination campaign for pregnant women against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a highly contagious virus that poses severe risks to newborns and pregnant women.
The initiative, launched on June 2, 2025, aims to administer over 45,000 doses to protect infants by transferring antibodies from vaccinated mothers through the placenta.
Mónica Taylor, executive president of CCSS, explained that the vaccine will provide crucial early life protection for babies during their first six months.
Pregnant women are encouraged to visit any health clinic within their gestational period to receive the vaccine, regardless of their insurance status.
In a related health announcement, Spanish Paralympic athlete Elena Congost publicly revealed her diagnosis of cancer in an emotive interview.
Congost, a medalist in marathon events, described her current health journey as a new kind of race.
With a focus on openness, she aims to challenge the stigma surrounding cancer, stating, "Sometimes we talk about cancer as a taboo, but it’s quite common.
It’s time to step back, take care of ourselves, look ahead, and keep going." Earlier this year, Congost made headlines for her disqualification from the Paris 2024 Paralympics after a significant act of compassion during a marathon.
She expressed her intent to face her diagnosis with strength and support from those around her.
