Jessie J recently shared her experiences with battling breast cancer and her need for a break from the UK in a candid social media post. The 37-year-old singer, who underwent a mastectomy in June, made a comeback on Saturday with a performance on Strictly Come Dancing. Following the show, she expressed her desire to take a respite from the UK before undergoing further breast surgery in the upcoming weeks.
In her Instagram post, Jessie J expressed her longing for her Los Angeles community, describing London as a place that feels distant and isolating. She reflected on the lack of social connections in London, stating, “I forgot how anti-social London is. I’ve been back for 10 months and it really is so distant and an isolating place to maintain a social life. Man, I miss LA and my community of people there. Might just book a flight and go before my surgery. I need some [battery emoji].”
Jessie J’s comments came after she performed her song “Living My Best Life” on the Strictly Come Dancing launch show, ahead of her upcoming album release titled “Don’t Tease Me with a Good Time.” The singer revealed her breast cancer diagnosis earlier this year, opting for a mastectomy procedure in June. Despite continuing to perform at various events, she disclosed the discovery of more breast cancer in other areas, leading to the decision for additional surgery in the near future.
Reflecting on her journey, Jessie J shared a video of her performance at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, marking 12 weeks since her mastectomy and highlighting her resilience through the challenges she faced. She expressed pride in her perseverance and determination, emphasizing the importance of celebrating milestones during tough times. Jessie J’s strength and positivity continue to inspire others facing similar battles as she navigates her health journey with grace and courage.
