    Jessie J has been forced to cancel her US tour so she can undergo further cancer treatment

    The 37-year-old singer revealed in June that she had a mastectomy amid her battle with breast cancer and has explained on social media that she now needs a second surgery


    Jessie stressed that the procedure is "nothing too serious" but "has to be done by the end of the year", which clashes with her upcoming tour dates in both Europe and the US.

    In a video uploaded to Instagram on Thursday (28.08.25), the Price Tag singer explained: "As some of you may know I just had breast cancer surgery eight weeks ago, that's the first thing.

    "The second thing is unfortunately I have to have a second surgery. Nothing too serious but it has to be done by the end of the year and unfortunately that falls right in the middle of a tour I had booked.

    "So I am living in the moment, I am embracing in the moment and I am flowing with the vibes."

    Jessie revealed that her UK and European tour dates have been pushed back to April 2026 but the US shows have been cancelled due to difficulty rescheduling.

    She explained: "I haven't been able to finesse the US dates yet so unfortunately that will be cancelled but I'm spending all my time trying to find time to make the venues make sense again in a slab of time next year.

    "Please bear with us for the US tour, it is something I want to do but when the time is right.

    "You guys know how much I want to do all of it but I just can't and have to be realistic."

    The Domino hitmaker is "frustrated and sad" at having to cancel the concerts but feels that it is a necessary decision for her health.

    Jessie said: "I'm so sorry, I feel frustrated and sad. But also it is what it is. I need to be better, I need to be healed and this is the right decision to make so I am postponing the tour until next year."

    She continued: "I am trying to be in the moment and compartmentalise all the different things that are happening in my life and where I have to give the energy.

    "But I have to heal so forgive me. I am sorry this sucks, but I know you probably knew this was coming.

    "I love you all so much, I'm going to go before I cry my eyes out."
