Singer Jessie J returned to hospital with ‘infection' and ‘fluid on my lungs'
In a post on Instagram, the Price Tag singer said: 'Six weeks post surgery and I was back in the same ward I was after my surgery. Not expected or planned.
'I had and still have symptoms that pointed towards a blood clot on the lung, it is not a blood clot thank god.
'They ran a lot of tests, which ended up showing I have an infection (still trying to figure out what) and a little fluid on my lungs.

'Finding it hard to breathe in, but I discharged myself last night (I hate being in hospital) and will continue the investigation as an outpatient.'
She went on to say it was 'frustrating' that her career plans had to change due to her surgery and hospital visits, and added that she had been 'working so hard to get to this point and excited to do it all'.
Cornish said: 'I know for me, the true hard journey of this whole thing physically was the day I went into surgery.
'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.'
The star said her visit to hospital was a 'reminder to myself to slow down' even though she felt she was already at a slow pace.
Cornish added: 'This isn't a speedy recovery and it isn't meant to be.
'As an ADHD Aries, fire breathing dragon t-rex, I can do it myself, I'm always ok woman. That slow pace has been a hard reality to accept to be honest.
'I love moving and working and being up and active but I can't be right now, and that's what it is, and I am finding the strength knowing that all can be adjusted to align with a slower pace and the support of my very small inner support circle.'
The London-born singer welcomed her son, Sky Safir Cornish Colman, in 2023, having had a miscarriage in November 2021.
She has battled with ill-health throughout her life, having been diagnosed with a heart condition aged eight, suffering a minor stroke aged 18 and having briefly gone deaf in 2020.
The singer-songwriter has had three number one songs in the UK singles chart with Domino, Price Tag and Bang Bang.
She was awarded four Mobo awards in 2011 including best UK act, best newcomer, best song for Do It Like A Dude and best album with Who You Are, and won the Brit Award for rising star in 2011.

Terry Reid, British musician championed by the Rolling Stones, Jimmy Page and more, dies aged 75
Terry Reid, the British musician whose soaring and soulful voice earned him the nickname 'Superlungs', and whose career intersected with the likes of the Rolling Stones and Jimmy Page, has died aged 75, as confirmed by his UK representative. He had been receiving cancer treatment in recent months. Reid never had a hit on the UK charts, but albums such as 1973's River remain critically acclaimed, and he was held in such high esteem that he was courted by Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple to be those bands' lead singer, but turned each of them down. Aretha Franklin stated in 1968: 'There are only three things happening in England: the Rolling Stones, the Beatles and Terry Reid.' Born and raised in Cambridgeshire, Reid was a singer, guitarist and songwriter from his early teens, initially with local group the Redbeats. After supporting Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers, Reid was asked to join the latter band. By 16, he was supporting the Rolling Stones on tour along with Ike & Tina Turner and the Yardbirds, and after breaking away as a solo artist (and befriending Jimi Hendrix), Reid supported the Stones again around the US. Yardbirds guitarist Jimmy Page admired Reid and asked if he would join a new band he was forming, but Reid turned him down, citing his commitment to the Stones' US tour. He recommended Robert Plant, singer in Band of Joy, along with that band's drummer John Bonham: both men joined Page and formed Led Zeppelin. 'I was intent on doing my own thing,' Reid told the Guardian in 2024. 'I contributed half the band – that's enough on my part!' He also turned down Ritchie Blackmore's offer to be Deep Purple's lead singer after Rod Evans's departure in 1969, but acknowledged: 'It was very flattering. Ritchie was one hell of a guitar player.' Ian Gillan would become Deep Purple's vocalist instead. Reid signed a management and recording deal with svengali Mickie Most, who oversaw his first two studio albums. His debut Bang Bang, You're Terry Reid contained a song he wrote when he was 14 years old, Without Expression, which would end up being covered by John Mellencamp, REO Speedwagon and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. There were other high-profile tour support slots, with Cream, Fleetwood Mac, Jethro Tull and more. But Reid's albums were not commercial successes, and Reid, not seeing eye to eye creatively with Most, eventually split from him. After some years in limbo thanks to a contractual dispute with Most, Reid returned to recording with 1973's River, the first of three albums that decade, and moved to California. But he put his solo career on hold in the 1980s, focusing instead on session work with artists including Bonnie Raitt, Don Henley and Jackson Browne. A comeback in 1991 with the Trevor Horn-produced album The Driver was not commercially or creatively successful, and though his cover of the Spencer Davis Group's Gimme Some Lovin' appeared on the soundtrack to Tom Cruise movie Days of Thunder, Reid later pronounced The Driver 'unlistenable'. Reid's earlier albums became favourites of crate diggers and musos, and he was sought out by artists including DJ Shadow and Alabama 3 for guest appearances in his later years. Jack White's band the Raconteurs, Marianne Faithfull and Chris Cornell were among the artists who covered his songs. He told the Guardian of unreleased sessions made with Dr Dre, who 'became fascinated with [Reid's album] Seed of Memory and invited me into his studio where we reworked it alongside his rappers, a fascinating experience'. He also continued to tour, but had to cancel a recent run of live dates amid his cancer treatment. A crowdfunding appeal was set up to cover his medical expenses, which read: 'Terry's spirit remains strong, and he's deeply grateful for the outpouring of care he's already received.' Reid is survived by his wife, Annette. Tributes have been paid by musicians including Joe Bonamassa, who said Reid was 'one of the greatest to ever do it and a beautiful person and soul'.

Terry Reid dead: Rock star who turned down Led Zeppelin & Deep Purple dies aged 75 after cancer battle
ICON LOST Terry Reid dead: Rock star who turned down Led Zeppelin & Deep Purple dies aged 75 after cancer battle AN iconic rock star who famously turned down Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple has died aged 75. Terry Reid, who was endearingly known as Super Lungs for his incredible voice, passed away after a battle with cancer. 2 Terry Reid has passed away aged 75 Credit: 2 The iconic musician once turned down Led Zeppelin Credit: Terry had been forced to postpone a tour last month due to his cancer treatment. The star was set to take centre stage at the St Ives September Festival on September 18. A heartfelt announcement was shared on social media in early July, stating: "Due to medical issues arising from recent treatment for cancer Terry has had to postpone his autumn 2025 UK, Irish and Norway. "Terry is especially upset about this as his 2024 tour was so successful and he had been looking forward to playing some new towns and venues plus old faves, as well as his first ever dates in Norway." Reid first came to prominence aged 16, as frontman for soul stompers, Peter Jay & The Jaywalkers. Cambridge-born Terry emerged as a teenage sensation and famously received invitations from legendary acts. His reputation was also cemented during the mid-60s as he notably supported the Rolling Stones during their 1966 tour. It was during this period that he nearly found himself recruited by Zeppelin's Jimmy Page. Going solo, he was managed by Mickie Most, releasing his debut album, Bang Bang, You're Terry Reid, in 1968. Reflecting on the proposition, Terry revealed in 2023: "I was very friendly with Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones. "Keith asked me to support the Stones in the States, but then shortly afterwards, Jimmy wanted me to join his new band. I was torn. "In the end, I put the ball in Jimmy's court. I said: 'You'd better speak to Keith and tell him I'm not going.' But Jimmy bottled it. H "He said: 'I'm not having him shoot me in the f***ing leg.; Even then, Keith had a reputation. So I ended up going to America with the Stones. I even played with them at Altamont." Looking back on the Deep Purple invitation, he recalled: "I'm not sure what frame I was in when I was asked. "I think it was when Ritchie was doing it at the beginning. Or maybe afterwards. Or maybe inbetween. I had gone to California and it's all a bit vague. "But Blackmore was a brilliant guitar player, wasn't he? I saw him in Screaming Lord Sutch's Savages. Sutch used to chase him around the stage with an axe. "But Ritchie never used to miss a note, and that ain't an easy thing to do. Not when you're about to be beheaded. Blackmore had a terrible job being a member of that band."

Jessie J shares health update days after being hospitalised with an infection six weeks on from her breast cancer surgery
Jessie J has given an update on her health days after revealing she'd been rushed to hospital with an infection and fluid on her lungs. The singer, 37, had been recovering from a breast cancer surgery in June, after sharing that the cancer had luckily been caught by doctors 'early'. Taking to her Instagram stories, Jessie initially told how she still has 'no idea what's wrong' with her yet and she sarcastically joked that her diagnosis was simply her being 'dramatic'. She wrote: 'I finally got a diagnosis of what's been going on. Lots of people have been asking, apparently it's called… Dramatic? I think that's the spelling. My symptoms are the same and no idea what's wrong yet. But my sarcasm and sense of humour are holding on.' Then, filming herself in a video, the star gave a further update as she noted how she sometimes felt like she was 'hanging on by a thread.' Jessie firstly told how her video was the first 'real time' she'd uploaded since her surgery as she'd been focusing on resting rather than creating new content. She then added: 'I think people think that I'm like hanging on by a thread… which in some moments has felt that way. 'Like two or three days ago when I woke up and I couldn't breathe. I still have pain in my chest when I breathe, but it's not as bad.' The Price Tag hitmaker remarked that she had 'very few other symptoms' now, joking that she hoped it was just a 'viral p**s take'. After mocking her appearance, Jessie then informed her followers that she was feeling 'a lot stronger', telling how after she was resting after being urged to do so by many. Discussing her recent health setback, Jessie suggested that it was possibly because her immune system is low, adding that she's not feeling 'any worse' and is resting. She went on to thank her mother being her 'hero', as well as other loved ones who came over to help with her son Sky, two, or chip in with household tasks. She said: 'I'm very grateful for my little gang.' It comes after the performer took to Instagram Stories on Sunday to share that she had been readmitted to hospital, and has since been told she has an infection.

In her final post, Jessie told her followers that the health scare has been a stark reminder that she still needs to 'slow down' while she continues her recovery from surgery In her final post, Jessie told her followers that the health scare has been a stark reminder that she still needs to 'slow down' while she continues her recovery from surgery. She added: 'A reminder to myself to slow tf down even though I feel like I'm at a [turtle] pace right now. 'This isn't a speedy recovery. And it isn't meant to be.

'My body and immune system said ''sit down d***head''.' Jessie previously admitted she went into 'survival mode' upon learning of her cancer diagnosis, but is now letting herself feel angry and sad in equal measure. Sharing an Instagram post in June, she wrote: Jessie wrote: '2 weeks post surgery. Had my drain out 2 nights ago. She said breathe in and take a hard breathe out. She whipped that thang out so quick. Woii oii. Weirdest feeling. But so nice to have it out after 12 days. 'Now it's just me and my wonky boobs trying to figure out how to dress until I match them up. The left one is looking at me like 'you ok babe?''. She continued: 'Also my experience was when I was diagnosed I went into survival mode. 'There was so much going on with appointments and in my mind esp with a toddler I had just moved and was about to start this campaign after 8 years away. Mad. Jessie previously admitted she went into 'survival mode' upon learning of her cancer diagnosis, but is now letting herself feel angry and sad in equal measure 'I didn't really have a lot of time to process what was happening or what was going to happen. So I'm currently experiencing some delayed sadness and frustration by having time to process what IS happening. 'A little disappointed in myself I didn't say goodbye to my old boob enough. Sounds silly but that's where I'm at. Again that's my journey. I'm sure others feel different. 'But for me I didn't think beyond the surgery. I was just being strong. Well now I'm here and letting myself be angry and sad and all the things. Just for a few days. 'Then I will sew some padding in a bra to even them out order some t-shirts and crack tf on'. Jessie previously confirmed that she is not cancer free, a day after posting her hopes to be rid of the disease. The singer said last month her previous post had been 'misunderstood' and while she was 'praying' for good news, the cancer at present had unfortunately not 'all gone'. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world and affects more than two MILLION women a year Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. Each year in the UK there are more than 55,000 new cases, and the disease claims the lives of 11,500 women. In the US, it strikes 266,000 each year and kills 40,000. But what causes it and how can it be treated? What is breast cancer? It comes from a cancerous cell which develops in the lining of a duct or lobule in one of the breasts. When the breast cancer has spread into surrounding tissue it is called 'invasive'. Some people are diagnosed with 'carcinoma in situ', where no cancer cells have grown beyond the duct or lobule. Most cases develop in those over the age of 50 but younger women are sometimes affected. Breast cancer can develop in men, though this is rare. Staging indicates how big the cancer is and whether it has spread. Stage 1 is the earliest stage and stage 4 means the cancer has spread to another part of the body. The cancerous cells are graded from low, which means a slow growth, to high, which is fast-growing. High-grade cancers are more likely to come back after they have first been treated. What causes breast cancer? A cancerous tumour starts from one abnormal cell. The exact reason why a cell becomes cancerous is unclear. It is thought that something damages or alters certain genes in the cell. This makes the cell abnormal and multiply 'out of control'. Although breast cancer can develop for no apparent reason, there are some risk factors that can increase the chance, such as genetics. What are the symptoms of breast cancer? The usual first symptom is a painless lump in the breast, although most are not cancerous and are fluid filled cysts, which are benign. The first place that breast cancer usually spreads to is the lymph nodes in the armpit. If this occurs you will develop a swelling or lump in an armpit. How is breast cancer diagnosed? Initial assessment: A doctor examines the breasts and armpits. They may do tests such as a mammography, a special x-ray of the breast tissue which can indicate the possibility of tumours. Biopsy: A biopsy is when a small sample of tissue is removed from a part of the body. The sample is then examined under a microscope to look for abnormal cells. The sample can confirm or rule out cancer. If you are confirmed to have breast cancer, further tests may be needed to assess if it has spread. For example, blood tests, an ultrasound scan of the liver or a chest X-ray. How is breast cancer treated? Treatment options which may be considered include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone treatment. Often a combination of two or more of these treatments are used. Surgery: Breast-conserving surgery or the removal of the affected breast depending on the size of the tumour. Radiotherapy: A treatment which uses high energy beams of radiation focused on cancerous tissue. This kills cancer cells, or stops them from multiplying. It is mainly used in addition to surgery. Chemotherapy: A treatment of cancer by using anti-cancer drugs which kill cancer cells, or stop them from multiplying. Hormone treatments: Some types of breast cancer are affected by the 'female' hormone oestrogen, which can stimulate the cancer cells to divide and multiply. Treatments which reduce the level of these hormones, or prevent them from working, are commonly used in people with breast cancer. How successful is treatment? The outlook is best in those who are diagnosed when the cancer is still small, and has not spread. Surgical removal of a tumour in an early stage may then give a good chance of cure. The routine mammography offered to women between the ages of 50 and 71 means more breast cancers are being diagnosed and treated at an early stage.
