Jessie J's Shocking Health Scare: Singer's Cancer Battle Takes a Dark Turn

In a bombshell health update, Jessie J's close pal Scott Mills has revealed that the pop star is "all right" but still recovering from her cancer diagnosis. The 37-year-old singer-songwriter has been battling breast cancer for months, and it seems she's not out of the woods just yet.

After undergoing a mastectomy in June as part of her treatment, Jessie was forced to take a break from music and spend some quality time with her loved ones. But just when fans thought she was on the mend, she was rushed back to hospital earlier this month with an infection and fluid on her lungs due to her weakened immune system.

Now, sources close to Jessie have confirmed that she's making a comeback – but it's not without its challenges. The singer is set to join the lineup for BBC Radio 2 In The Park, where Scott will be spinning tracks alongside Vernon Kay and Michelle Visage. And trust us, you won't want to miss this!

But before we dive into Jessie's music comeback, let's take a look at what's been going on behind-the-scenes. According to sources, Jessie has been feeling "really positive" despite her health setbacks. Scott told The Scholarly Note: "She just needs to focus on her health and then feel ready for the tour." And by the sound of it, she's got a long road ahead of her.

In an emotional interview with Jamie Laing's podcast, Great Company, Jessie revealed that cancer had "robbed" her of precious family time with her young son Sky. The singer confessed to feeling like she was missing out on milestones and special moments with her little one – something no mother wants to go through.

But it seems Jessie is taking things in stride. She's even been writing music from the comfort of her own home, as evidenced by her brand-new single "Believe in Magic," which dropped on Friday. According to Jessie, the song was penned back in 2022 when she was pregnant – and it's a real treat for fans.

Jessie took to social media to share her excitement about the release: "I was breaking open and loving writing again. It was a deep hopeful loving feeling I wanted to put into a song. It resonates with me more now than perhaps it did then. That’s the beauty of music, it can travel in time."

And while Jessie may be feeling positive, her health journey has been far from smooth sailing. In June, she took to the stage at Wembley Stadium and revealed that she was taking a break for treatment – but fans were shocked when she cancelled tour dates just last week due to another operation.

As it turns out, doctors have ordered Jessie to undergo a second surgery – something that will clash with her upcoming shows in the UK, Europe, and US this autumn. But don't worry, folks; Jessie's not one to let a little thing like cancer get her down. She took to social media to reassure fans: "I am living in the moment, I am embracing in the moment, and I am flowing with the vibes."

So what does it all mean for Jessie's music comeback? Well, it looks like she'll be joining the lineup for BBC Radio 2 In The Park – a three-day extravaganza that's already sold out (tickets are flying fast!). And as for Scott Mills' DJ set on Friday, let's just say it's going to be one for the books.

As Jessie prepares to take center stage once again, fans can't help but wonder what the future holds. Will she emerge from this health scare stronger and more resilient than ever? Only time will tell – but one thing's for sure: we'll be right there with her every step of the way.
