Earlier, on June 4, the songstress revealed her "early" breast cancer diagnosis in an Instagram video. She explained that sharing the news was a way for her to "process" her emotional turmoil. At the time, she noted that she received the news in April, just before her song No Secrets came out, and has undergone several tests since.

Last week, the English musician talked about the "worst day" she had since her diagnosis. In an Instagram Story posted on June 8, she explained that juggling motherhood, work, and cancer has resulted in her experiencing panic attacks and intense emotions like fear and anger. Quoting the singer, People magazine wrote:

"And you know what helped? I ate a corn on the cob. Turns out it's extremely hard to panic or cry while eating one. Highly recommend. (Instant) mood shift."

At the time, Jessie J also stressed the importance of being honest and acknowledging her "fear, anger, sadness, (and) panic." She asserted that one cannot "heal" otherwise.

While first revealing her breast cancer diagnosis, the songstress highlighted that following her performance at Capital’s Summertime Ball, she would take time off as she would undergo a mastectomy. At the time, she joked that she would come back with "massive t*ts and more music."
