Famous British singer Jessie J announced on stage, tearfully, that she is taking a break from music to fight breast cancer. Speaking at the Capital's Summertime Ball concert held at Wembley Stadium, Jessie J revealed that this concert would be her "last performance before going to beat cancer."
In her emotional speech on stage, she said:
"I have always been an open book. Today's concert is my last stage before taking a break to beat cancer. That's why tonight is very special for me."
The 37-year-old artist also expressed her commitment to life with the following words:
"My life, my son, my partner, my career, you all... I am grateful. There are so many things worth living for."
Jessie humorously referred to one of her songs, saying:
"The title of 'Living My Best Life' should actually be 'Living My Breast Life.'
She concluded her words by saying, "Right now, I am not the only one facing these challenges. Everyone here has struggles in their lives. So let's spread good energy together."
At the beginning of June, Jessie J announced on her social media account that she had been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. She stated that her surgery would take place immediately after this concert.
In a video she posted on Instagram, she drew attention with her words:
"I have been diagnosed with early-stage cancer. Every type of cancer is difficult, but I am holding on to the word 'early.'
The singer also mentioned that she hesitated to share her diagnosis with the public at first. However, she stated that she ultimately chose to be open, using the following expressions:
"Maybe I can't digest it myself because I haven't talked about it enough. But when I shared my past experiences, the support from people and their own stories helped me a lot. That's why I chose to be open again."
Jessie also pointed out how much the songs "No Secrets" and "Living My Best Life," which she wrote before her cancer diagnosis, resonate with today:
"I didn't know I would be diagnosed with cancer when I wrote these songs. But now, looking back, everything feels very meaningful."
The artist emphasized that she was speaking not only for herself on stage but also for everyone struggling with the same challenges. Jessie J said she draws strength from life, her fans, and her loved ones, expressing her feelings by saying, "My heart is with everyone going through the same process."
As the audience applauded Jessie J, the artist left a strong farewell message both to the stage and to life: "Life goes on, and I am ready to fight."
