Jessie J Cancels Tour Dates Ahead of Second Breast Cancer Surgery: 'I Just Can't and Have to Be Realistic'

Jessie J has been forced to canceled her upcoming U.S. tour dates and postponed her shows in Europe due to ongoing health struggles 

In a video posted to Instagram on Thursday, the star explained that she must now undergo a second surgery to treat her breast cancer during the period of time she was supposed to be on the road.

Jessie cut straight to the chase, telling followers she’d rather be “blunt” than get emotional on camera. “Unfortunately I have to have a second surgery,” the vocalist said. “Nothing too serious, but it has to be done by the end of this year. This falls in the middle of the tour I had booked.”

“I’m so sorry, I feel frustrated and sad,” she added. “But I need to be better, I need to be healed.”

The canceled performances include all of the shows Jessie had scheduled for this November, while her October concerts in Europe have all been pushed to April 2026.

The announcement comes about three months after the “Price Tag” singer first revealed that, shortly before the release of her single “No Secrets” in April, she’d received an “early breast cancer” diagnosis. 

Later in June, she announced that she’d undergone her first surgery to treat the cancer.

Six weeks after that, Jessie returned to the hospital with symptoms that turned out to be the result of an infection, though her doctors had originally suspected she had a blood clot.
