August 4, 2025 — British pop star Jessie J has had a frightening health setback amid her recovery from early-stage breast cancer. Just six weeks after her surgery on June 23, 2025, the singer was unexpectedly readmitted to the same ward where she initially recovered.

Jessie shared the update via Instagram Stories, posting a photo of an IV in her arm. “How I spent the last 24 hours: 6 weeks post‑surgery and I was back in the same ward I was after my surgery. Not expected or planned,” she wrote. Initially fearing a blood clot in her lung, doctors ruled that out and instead diagnosed her with an infection and a small amount of fluid on her lungs.

Despite breathing difficulties and chest pain, Jessie decided to discharge herself, expressing, “I hate being in hospital,” and plans to continue investigations as an outpatient.

On Instagram, she candidly reflected:

“The recovery physically is far from quick or easy, and mentally it’s been the most challenging time for me… Especially as a Mum with a toddler and being unable to be the mother I usually am.”
“Getting the all clear was incredible—but that result didn’t speed up or make the recovery physically any easier… This isn’t a speedy recovery, and it isn’t meant to be… I love moving and working and being up and active but I can’t be right now.”

She acknowledged how deeply this episode has impacted her plans, both personally and professionally— adjusting her career timetable and embracing a slower pace under the care of her “very small inner support circle”.
