British singer and songwriter Jessie J revealed in a social media post on Wednesday that she has been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. 

The 37-year-old now plans to undergo surgery following a festival performance in London later this month. 

“Cancer sucks in any form, but I’m holding on to the world ‘early’,” she said in a video message posted to her Instagram account. 

“It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse – that’s the bit that kills me.” 

“I just wanted to be open and share it,” she said, “I’m not processing it because I’m working so hard.”  

“It’s a very dramatic way to get a boob job,” the singer joked in her message, “I’m going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery and I will come back with massive tits and more music.”
