A cancer survivor has started a Twitter campaign to get Jessie J to perform at his wedding

However, after a miracle bone marrow transplant the father-of-three beat the disease and has now been in remission for over a year.

Sean got inspiration to fight the disease from Jessie's music and he has started the social media campaign to try and get the 'Do It Like A Dude' singer to appear at his wedding - which has been booked for the same church his funeral was going to take place in.

He told website Wales Online: "I listened to her songs while I was in hospital and they touched my heart. I went to see her in concert not long before I was first diagnosed with cancer and while I was watching I thought something wasn't right. It was then that I went to the doctors and found out what was wrong with me."

Sean's dream is for Jessie to sing 'Who You Are' - the title track from her debut album - for his first dance with his bride Lisa Williams.

Speaking about why he has chose that track, Sean said: "That song means a lot to me. My youngest daughter Asia would sing it to me in hospital to cheer me up so it means a lot to her as well. I would love Jessie J to sing that at my wedding - it would mean the absolute world to me."

So far, 'Coronation Street' actress Kym Marsh has got behind his campaign retweeting Sean's Twitter post "please share thanks kym - Cancer patient who cancelled his own funeral and booked his wedding wants Jessie J to perform on the big day (sic)".

Although Sean's tweets have attracted a huge amount of attention online, Jessie herself is yet to respond to him.
