Jessie J: 'Cried Happy and Scared Tears' Before Battling Breast Cancer

Jessie J has said she 'cried happy and scared tears' after playing her final show before she undergoes breast cancer surgery

Jessie J Spills The Tea: Singer Breaks Down In Tears After Final Show Before Breast Cancer Surgery

In a shocking turn of events, Jessie J has revealed she's been secretly battling breast cancer, and her emotional farewell concert at Wembley Stadium left fans in tears. The 37-year-old singer-songwriter performed at Capital's Summertime Ball over the weekend, vowing to "beat" the disease as she addressed the crowd.

But little did they know, it was Jessie's last show before undergoing surgery. And let's just say, she went out with a bang – and a few happy tears, mixed in with some scared ones.

The singer, 37, who revealed her diagnosis last week, performed at Capital's Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium and vowed to 'beat' the disease as she addressed the crowd

As the singer took to Instagram after her final performance, she shared an intimate look at what happens after the curtains close. "If you ever wonder what I do after a show," she wrote, "let's just say it's not all glamour and glitz."

Jessie revealed she spent her evening dinner with inspiring friends, followed by some well-deserved self-care – we're talking oilatum cream, thick on her face, à la Mrs. Doubtfire. But as the night drew to a close, Jessie got real about her emotions.

"Having a needed a well-earned cry," she confessed, "happy and scared tears." And honestly, who can blame her? After all, this is a woman who's about to embark on a life-changing journey.

Reflecting on her last show before treatment on Monday, Jessie described the day as special but admitted she 'needed a well earned cry' with her two-year-old son, Sky

The Price Tag hitmaker has been open about her cancer diagnosis in recent weeks, but it seems the emotional weight of it all has finally caught up with her. In an Instagram post earlier this month, Jessie revealed she'd been feeling overwhelmed by panic attacks and tears – but then something unexpected happened: she ate a corn on the cob.

Yes, you read that right. Jessie credits the humble vegetable for shifting her mood (and we're not sure if it's the carbs or the emotional release, but hey, it's working for her!). "Instead of mood swings," she quipped, "I had a great dinner."

But let's get real – cancer is no joke. And as Jessie prepares to face this new challenge head-on, she's being her usual strong and fearless self. In a heartfelt post, she wrote: "It's [key] to acknowledge fear, anger, sadness, panic overwhelm, and let it come up and out."

So, what does the future hold for Jessie J? Well, we can't wait to find out. But one thing's for sure – with her signature sass, humor, and determination, this singer will not go quietly into the night.

As she takes on this latest chapter in her life, Jessie's fans are rallying around her every step of the way. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to support a strong, talented, and inspiring woman like Jessie J? She's living proof that even in the toughest times, there's always hope – and a good joke or two.

The singer-songwriter took to social media last week, revealing her cancer diagnosis and vowing to "beat" it. But fans were quick to pick up on hints she dropped about her health during a performance at Union Chapel back in May.

According to The Mirror, Jessie told the crowd: "I'm grateful I have the voice and the strength to be able to put those experiences into songs that people can take and make them their own soundtrack." Little did they know, this was more than just a heartfelt message – it was a rallying cry for her own battle ahead.

As the news of Jessie's diagnosis spread like wildfire, fans took to social media to share their well-wishes and support. But in a shocking twist, some of the singer's friends have been accused of being less than supportive.

Sources close to the singer have revealed that while Jessie's loved ones are rallying around her, there are those who are being "unsupportive" – but we won't get into all the juicy gossip just yet.

For now, let's focus on what really matters: Jessie J's incredible strength and resilience in the face of adversity. As she embarks on this new chapter in her life, one thing's for sure – with her music, humor, and unwavering spirit, she'll inspire us all to be our strongest selves.

And who knows? Maybe that corn on the cob will become a staple in her cancer-fighting arsenal. After all, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade – but when life gives you cancer, eat some veggies!
