00:22On Tuesday, June 3rd, the Grammy-nominated singer Jessie J, real name Jessica Ellen Cornish, revealed in an Instagram video that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and she will be undergoing a double mastectomy.
00:36In her usual cheeky fashion, the British singer, 37, was full of jokes about it, except when talking about others who are going through what she is going through right now, where she sounded like she was choking back tears.
00:49Before No Secrets came out, I was diagnosed with early breast cancer.
00:55I'm highlighting the word early.
00:57Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word early.
01:02I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period.
01:06I just wanted to be open and share it.
01:081. Because selfishly, I do not talk about it enough.
01:12I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard.
01:15I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support, and also their own stories.
01:23I'm an open book.
01:25It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much, similar and worse.
01:31Um, that's the bit that kills me, said the singer.
01:34Jessie went on to say that she will be undergoing a double mastectomy later this year, calling it a very dramatic way to get a boob job.
01:42I'm getting to keep my nipples.
01:45That's good.
01:46It's a weird topic and a weird situation, said Jessie, adding.
01:50It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job.
01:52I'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.
02:00In the Instagram caption, she added,
02:02All jokes aside, you know, it's one of the ways I get through hard times.
02:08This last two months have been so amazing, and having this go on alongside it on the sidelines has given me the most incredible perspective.
02:15But your girl needs a hug.
02:18Also, not getting massive tits.
02:20Or am I?
02:22No, no.
02:23I must stop joking.
02:24Jessie J is a hit British recording artist who was nominated for a Grammy for her song Bang Bang with Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj.
02:34Her other big hits include Price Tag, Who's Laughing Now, Domino, and It's My Party.
