Singer Jessie J returned to hospital with ‘infection' and ‘fluid on lungs'
The 37-year-old, whose real name is Jessica Cornish, said she has since discharged herself from the hospital where she was treated after breast cancer surgery just weeks ago, revealing in July that she had since seen 'no cancer spread'.
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.

The pantry staple that the longest-living people on earth EVERY day
A leading longevity researcher says the real key to living well into your 80s, 90s, and even 100s isn't an expensive fad or diet - it's a food you probably already have in your pantry. Dan Buettner, a National Geographic fellow who has spent decades studying the diets of the world's longest-living people, says beans are the 'true longevity food'. In fact, he claims you should be eating them every day if you want to stay healthy and active into old age. 'The longest-living people on Earth eat beans every single day,' Buettner said in an Instagram video. 'Forget the fear-mongering around lectins and the carnivore craze - those diets aren't producing 90-year-olds still playing pickleball.' Buettner - who has researched so-called Blue Zones, regions where people live significantly longer than average - dismissed online health trends that demonise beans, saying they're not only safe but essential. 'People say, "I don't want to eat beans because I'll fart or get bloated",' he said. 'But the reality is, if you soak beans, rinse them, cook them thoroughly - no lectins, by the way - you can avoid those problems.' His tip for beginners was to take it one step at a time. 'Start with just a teaspoon a day if it upsets your stomach. Then the second week, two teaspoons, and the third week, three teaspoons,' he said. 'Your microbiome will grow the bacteria necessary to metabolise them. That way, everyone can work up to a cup of beans a day without any internal tumult.' Easy ways to incorporate more beans into your diet include adding some chickpeas to your salads for extra protein and texture. You can also blend cannellini beans into soups or dips for creaminess, or stir black beans through scrambled omelettes. Another simple way is to toss kidney beans into chillis, tacos, or pasta sauces. Buettner says this gradual approach allows your gut to adapt - making beans not just tolerable, but an easy daily staple. Calling out what he dubbed 'this whole plant paradox nonsense', Buettner said it had confused people and done the 'biggest disservice' to eating. He also challenged the notion that high-meat, zero-carb diets could match the health and longevity benefits seen in bean-rich diets. 'The New York Times interviewed me, and I challenged them to find any population on the planet that eats a carnivore diet and lives a long time,' he said. 'People say the Maasai and Inuit are healthy and on carnivore diets - but their life expectancy is 63.' His conclusion is simple. 'If you want to be healthy in your 80s, 90s, and 100s and still playing pickleball, you don't want to be eating a carnivore diet,' he said. Looks like the secret to a long life might just be sitting in your pantry.

NYC just got hit with an air quality alert, continuing a messy week of weather
Another week, another curveball from the sky. An air quality alert has been issued for New York City and much of New York State as wildfire smoke from Canada drifts back into the region, hazing up the skyline and sending air quality levels into the unhealthy zone for sensitive groups. According to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the alert went into effect at midnight Monday and stretches through 12am Tuesday for all five boroughs, along with Westchester, Rockland, Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Ulster and Sullivan counties. The Air Quality Index (AQI) is expected to exceed 100, a threshold that signals increased risk for people with asthma, heart conditions or other respiratory sensitivities. You can thank ongoing wildfires in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, which continue to send plumes of smoke southward, for this latest batch of bad air. That smoke is now blanketing much of the Northeast—including the Hudson Valley and Central New York—with skies turning from its usual blue to milky gray. And don't expect it to clear up immediately: Forecasters warn that smoke could linger into Tuesday and possibly Wednesday. DEC and @HealthNYGov have issued an air quality health advisory TOMORROW, August 4th, for all of New York State except Long Island due to smoke from wildfires in Canada. 👉 Latest AQI forecast: ☎️ Air Quality Hotline: 1-800-535-1345 — New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation (@NYSDEC) August 3, 2025 The Department of Health is advising anyone in sensitive health groups to limit time outdoors, particularly if you start feeling symptoms like coughing, throat irritation or shortness of breath. Even healthy New Yorkers may notice a tickle in the throat or a less-than-pleasant jog through Central Park today. Adding to the chaotic weather week: A rare earthquake rattled Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, Saturday night. While no aftershocks have been reported yet, experts say there's still a small chance we haven't felt the last of it. The good news is that aside from a few rogue showers on Tuesday and Thursday, the rest of the week looks dry, sunny and relatively pleasant—just with a hazy Instagram filter applied. Temperatures are expected to hover in the low-to-mid 80s with humidity creeping up, but nowhere near last week's swampy highs.
