Jessie J diagnosed with early breast cancer

Singer Jessie J has been diagnosed with "early breast cancer".
The Price Tag singer, whose real name is Jessica Cornish, said in a video posted to Instagram that she has recently spent a lot of time "in and out of tests".
She said she will "disappear for a bit" after performing at Capital Radio's Summertime Ball later this month to have surgery.
"I was diagnosed with early breast cancer," the 37-year-old said during the video.
"Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word 'early'.
"It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job. I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive tits and more music."
'I need a hug'
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women in the UK.
The singer said sharing her diagnosis publicly has helped her process the news and show solidarity with others going through a similar experience.
"I just wanted to be open and share it," she said.
"One, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard.
"I 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. I'm an open book.
"It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse - that's the bit that kills me."
She continued: "The timing of it has been mad but also beautiful and given me this incredible perspective in this time.
"But honestly I need to process it and talk about it and, I need a hug. You have loved me through all my good and hard times. And I don't want this to be any different."
'I'm here for you'
Messages of support from celebrities flooded the comments section under the singer's post.
Former Little Mix singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock wrote: "Sending you so much love."
Fellow singer Rita Ora said: "You're literally my favourite person and I'm praying for you, you've got this. My mother had it and I know the surgery and any treatment on this matter is mentally tough, so I'm here for you."
London-born singer Jessie J welcomed her son, Sky Safir Cornish Colman, in 2023, having miscarried in November 2021.
She has battled with ill health throughout her life, having been diagnosed with a heart condition aged eight, suffering a minor stroke aged 18 and having briefly gone deaf in 2020.
