Jessie J has shared an emotional update with fans, revealing that her second breast cancer surgery has been delayed, even after she cancelled her upcoming tour dates to undergo the operation.
The 36-year-old Price Tag singer, who bravely opened up about her breast cancer diagnosis earlier this year, underwent a mastectomy in June and had been preparing for a follow-up procedure this month. However, she told followers that doctors have now decided to postpone the surgery after further consultation.
In a heartfelt Instagram video, Jessie explained:
“Some of you may know, some of you may not know, I was supposed to have a second breast surgery two weeks ago.”
“A week before my surgery I went to my surgeon and we discussed my surgery, and it felt a little more complex than he was anticipating. He referred me to a different surgeon who I then saw, had a meeting with, who said, ‘I think this can wait a little while.’”
The Grammy-nominated artist admitted the news was difficult to take, especially after she had already made the tough decision to cancel her tour so she could prioritise her health and recovery.
“Obviously I’d already cancelled my tour so I was obviously frustrated,” she said. “But again, it’s out of my control and two different surgeons had two different opinions.”
Despite the setback, Jessie reassured fans that she’s trying to stay positive and is using the unexpected break to spend time with her family, focus on her son Sky, whom she welcomed in 2023, and continue her mental and physical healing journey.
The singer also confirmed that she plans to reschedule her tour dates once her health allows it, saying she’s determined to return to the stage stronger than ever.
“There will be new dates,” she wrote. “I just need to give myself time. I’ve learnt that sometimes the hardest part of healing is waiting.”

Fans and fellow celebrities flooded her comments with messages of support, praising her honesty and resilience. Many applauded her for using her platform to speak openly about her health struggles and encourage others to prioritise their wellbeing.
Jessie J has been candid about her medical journey from the beginning, often sharing photos and journal-style updates documenting her recovery process. Earlier this year, she said her mastectomy had been “life-changing” but also “empowering,” as she continues to embrace her body post-surgery.
She previously told fans:
“I’ve been through so many highs and lows in my career, but nothing compares to this. It’s made me more grateful for life, for love, and for the people who show up when things get hard.”
While Jessie didn’t share a new date for her operation, she emphasised that she’s trusting her medical team and focusing on “the bigger picture.”
Her message to fans was simple but powerful:
“I know I’ll be back on stage. I just have to listen to my body and trust the timing.”
As the star continues her recovery, her followers are rallying behind her, proving once again that Jessie J’s strength, both as an artist and a person, continues to inspire millions.
