Jessie J has cancelled her upcoming tour after sharing she needs a second surgery following her breast cancer diagnosis.
In a video posted to Instagram on Thursday, the 37-year-old singer shared that the surgery must be completed by the end of the year, but it coincides with her planned tour dates in the U.S., UK, and Europe.
“Unfortunately, I have to have a second surgery, nothing too serious, but it has to be done before the end of the year, and unfortunately that falls right in the middle of a tour that I had booked,” she said in her Instagram video posted on Thursday.
Her European tour, scheduled for October 2025, has been rescheduled to April 2026, while her U.S. tour, originally set for November, has been cancelled.
"Please bear with us for the U.S. tour," she said in her video.
"I feel frustrated and sad," she said, adding, "but I need to be better, I need to be healed and this is the right decision to make."
Jessie J, whose real name is Jessica Ellen Cornish, first revealed in June via Instagram that she had been diagnosed with "early breast cancer."
