Jessie J Left “Frustrated” After Second Surgery for Breast Cancer is Postponed

Pop star Jessie J has opened up about her emotional and physical journey after announcing that a second surgery in her breast-cancer treatment has been delayed, despite having already cancelled major tour dates in preparation.

The News

In a recent Instagram video, Jessie revealed that she was scheduled to undergo a second procedure two weeks ago, but after a consultation and referral to a second surgeon, the decision was made that the operation could wait for now.

She explained:

“I was supposed to have a second breast surgery two weeks ago. A week before my surgery I went to my surgeon… it felt a little more complex … referred to a different surgeon… who said: ‘I think this can wait a little while.’”

Jessie admitted she feels “obviously… frustrated”, especially since she had already cancelled her U.S. tour in preparation for the surgery.

Background: Her Health Journey

• She announced in June 2025 that she had been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer.

• A procedure followed, and she has been open about navigating treatment, recovery and motherhood during this time.

• The cancelled plans include major U.S. and European tour dates originally intended for later in the year.

What This Means for Her Career & Fans

• The delays highlight the unpredictability of cancer treatment, even for a high-profile artist.

• Tour logistics: Jessie’s U.S. concerts were cancelled and her UK/Europe shows have been rescheduled for April 2026.

• Despite the frustration, she emphasised that the decision is about health first:

  “I need to be better, I need to be healed.”
