Jessie J has reflected on 2025, a year which she has described as “one of the hardest but most magical years”.
The past year saw the Price Tag singer diagnosed with early breast cancer, where she underwent a successful surgery. But last August, the singer was then forced to cancel a string of shows in the UK, Europe and North America, having been scheduled to undergo a second operation.
The singer was admitted to hospital back in August, having been experiencing chest pains, with tests later confirming that she was diagnosed with an infection and fluids in her lungs, finding it "hard to breathe in, but I discharged myself last night and will continue the investigation as an outpatient". More on this here.
Back in early December, Jessie J had said that she was recovering well, but had been warned by doctors that the illness "could return". She also revealed that she was told that she was not diagnosed with an "invasive" form of the disease.
“I’ve been really lucky, super lucky to find it so early. It wasn’t invasive, thank God. I know there’s a chance it could come back, but until then, we’re living life", she told ABC News.
Now, Jessie J has taken to social media, to reflect on what has been a turbulent year for her.
“This is an honest story post that will get blown up I’m sure. But who cares", she wrote on her Instagram stories. “As truthfully in a world full of ‘everything is fine, I’m happy, I’m good, life is perfect’ there is grief hurt pain sadness heartbreak and reflection and processing happening this time of year for many of us, along side the good and great or on its own".
She continued: “This year has been heavy and hard in many ways for all of us, for me personally one of the hardest but most magical years of my life. Personally and professionally. But all the sadness has come up this week, it’s the first time I’ve stopped (working and being in public in months) So I’m crying a lot. Writing shit down feeling really low tbh. The lowest I have felt in a while".
The singer also added that she was experiencing an “accumulation of stuff just making its way to the surface” and that she was choosing to “let it out".
“Don’t hold it in people,” she said. “We are not superhuman or meant to be happy and positive all the time. It’s healthy and normal to cry".
She concluded: “Sending love to anyone feeling this way too right now. No positive end to this. Just I’m with ya. It’s s*** sometimes".
