Jessie J Updates Fans After Undergoing Surgery For Breast Cancer
Earlier this month, the chart-topping singer disclosed that she'd been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer shortly after the release of her single No Secrets in April.
She then said that, following her performance at the Capital Summertime Ball, she'd be taking time out from the spotlight to have surgery.
On Monday night, Jessie shared a series of pictures and videos on Instagram confirming that she'd had the operation, including a selfie from her hospital bed.
'This post is some of the honest lows and highs of the last 48 hours,' she told her followers. 'I will always show the good and hard bits of any journey I go through.'
Sharing her gratitude with her doctors, surgeons and nurses, as well as the family and friends who visited her in hospital, she confirmed: 'I am home now, to rest and wait for my results.'
'Still hugging everyone going through something tough right now,' she added. 'We all got this!'
Jessie's full post – including a trigger warning for blood – is below:

In her original post announcing her diagnosis, Jessie admitted she'd been 'going back and forth' about whether she wanted to share her diagnosis.
Ultimately, though, she decided: '[I wanted] to be open and share it [because] I do not talk about it enough. I'm not processing it, because I'm working so hard.
'I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me, with other people giving me their love and support, and also their own stories. I'm an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so [many] similar [situations] and worse. That's the bit that kills me.'

Jessie first rose to international fame in 2010 with the release of her debut single Do It Like A Dude, and has since scored three UK number ones with the hit songs Price Tag, Domino and the Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj collaboration Bang Bang.
In 2023, the Brit Award winner welcomed a son, her first child, with her partner, basketball pro Chanan Safir Colman.

Snoop Dogg joins ownership group of Welsh soccer club Swansea
SWANSEA, Wales (AP) — Snoop Dogg has become a 'co-owner and investor' of Welsh soccer club Swansea. The former Premier League club, which plays in the English second division, didn't disclose financial details in Thursday's announcement, which shines a spotlight on yet another unheralded team from Wales after Wrexham's well-documented journey. 'My love of football is well known, but it feels special to me that I make my move into club ownership with Swansea City,' the American rapper and entertainment icon said in the announcement. 'The story of the club and the area really struck a chord with me,' he added. 'This is a proud, working class city and club. An underdog that bites back, just like me.' Snoop Dogg, who has more than 88 million Instagram followers, helped launch the team's 2025-26 home shirt last weekend. The club ownership group added: 'To borrow a phrase from Snoop's back catalogue, this announcement is the next episode for Swansea City as we seek to create new opportunities to boost the club's reach and profile." ___

Steve Miller Band cancels all US tour dates, citing extreme weather
The Steve Miller Band is canceling all of its U.S. tour dates, citing extreme weather and a "combination" of major natural disasters. The iconic rock band made the announcement in a social media post late Wednesday. "Dear Steve Miller Band fans, you make music with your instincts, you live your life by your instincts, always trust your instincts..." the band wrote in an Instagram post. "The Steve Miller Band has cancelled all of our upcoming tour dates." "The combination of extreme heat, unpredictable flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes and massive forest fires make these risks for you our audience, the band and the crew unacceptable," they continued. "So... You can blame it on the weather…The tour is cancelled." They added, "Don't know where, don't know when… We hope to see you all again." The band had been scheduled to kick off their tour Aug. 15 in Bethel, New York, with nearly 30 stops overall, before wrapping up Nov. 8 in Anaheim, California. Miller, now 81 and a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member, has been performing and touring for over 60 years and is most known for hits like the 1973 song "The Joker," the 1976 song and album "Fly Like an Eagle," and more. The band's most recent studio album -- their 17th -- was 2011's "Let Your Hair Down," and their most recent compilation album was 2019's "Welcome To The Vault."
