Jessie J admits she ‘pissed people off’ by delaying cancer surgery for Wembley show

Jessie J has broken her silence by delaying her breast cancer operation for the Wembley show in June.

In a recent cover story for Women’s healthThe 37-year-old singer revealed that she defied the expectations of patients going through a cancer journey and noted that it “pissed off a lot of people.”

THE Price tag The hitmaker, who was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer in March, just days before making her musical comeback after a four-year hiatus, said she “refuses to stay silent” amid her health struggles, saying she is not “handcuffed”.

“I upset a lot of people by postponing my surgery to do this show. But I knew doing the show was going to impact me personally, as Jessica,” she told the publisher. “I feel guilty that not everyone who has to have cancer surgery has that moment.”

Jessica went on to say, “There were 80,000 people clapping, not because I could sing well or I wore an outfit they liked. It was: we love you, we’re behind you and we hope it goes well…”

“We don’t have to sit down, shut up and cry because we have cancer,” Jessica emphasized. “I’m going to sing ‘Bang Bang’ as loud as I can. And that’s what I was thinking as I was being put to sleep during my surgery. That and my son’s face saying, ‘I love you, Mom.'”
