Jessie J Overwhelmed During Final Show Before Going Away 'To Beat Breast Cancer': 'So Much To Live For'

Jessie J gave fans an emotional goodbye as she prepares to retreat from the spotlight to deal with her breast cancer battle.

The singer, who recently opened up about her shocking cancer diagnosis, took to the stage over the weekend, where she confirmed it would be her "last show."

Jessie previously hinted at fighting her battle privately, telling her fans she would "disappear for a bit."

On Sunday, June 15, the "Price Tag" songstress took the stage at the Capital's Summertime Ball held at Wembley Stadium. It was her first time back at the ball in 11 years.

While on stage, Jessie got emotional as she spoke to a crowd of 75,000 about her health battle and treatment. A fan-recorded clip on X captured the tear-jerking moment.

"Today, this show, is my last show before I go and beat breast cancer," she solemnly declared to a roaring cheer. "So, it's so special to me. You have no idea."

Jessie, dressed in a skimpy white number, expressed pride about hailing from the United Kingdom and "being this honest person." She then expressed gratitude for life, her fans, her partner Chanan Colman, their son, Sky, her family, and her crew, before tearfully declaring:

"We are so lucky. We have so much to live for. So much joy; so many things to do."

Concluding her speech, the British artist then introduced her single, "Living My Best Life," which she described as the "soundtrack" of her life.

After the electric performance, Jessie took to Instagram to reflect on the outpouring of support from fans. Alongside a clip, she gushed about Capital's Summertime Ball being one of her "favorite" shows in the last 15 years, before adding:

"The love 80,000 people showed me yesterday was the exact definition of [heart emoji and battery emoji]. Thank you. I will never forget that moment ever. I am so lucky to feel that support."

Concluding the poignant post, the "Flashlight" artist sent an encouraging message to those fighting a similar health battle.

"And anyone else going through cancer right now. I am sharing it with you. I'm throwing hands at my cancer and yours," she beautifully penned.

Although the 37-year-old was able to hold back tears on stage, the floodgates opened once she was back home with her loved ones. Jessie shared the vulnerable moment with fans in a statement uploaded on her Instagram Stories.

Per People Magazine, she recalled going to an intimate dinner with friends before heading home to spend quality time with her two-year-old.

"While the house is dark and everyone is asleep, I've unpacked my bags, done some house chores, washed Sky's cup and put the washing away," she recounted. "Now I'm sitting in Sky's room just staring at him. Having a needed a well-earned cry. Happy and scared tears."

In a follow-up frame, she joked that she hoped Sky wouldn't wake up because her tears might scare him. Jessie and basketballer Chanan Colman welcomed the bundle of joy in May 2023.

Jessie first shared the devastating news of her breast cancer battle in a June 3 post. She confessed that the shocking diagnosis came in April, shortly after releasing her first comeback track in four years.

"I was diagnosed with early breast cancer. I’m highlighting the word 'early.' Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding onto the word early," she said in the clip. "I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period."

She addressed the timing of the illness, saying it wasn't planned. "To get diagnosed with this, as I'm putting out a song called No Secrets, right before a song called Living My Best Life, which was all pre-planned, before I found out about this. I mean, you can't make it up," she explained.

The songwriter then joked she was getting a "boob job," confirming she would undergo surgery. "I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive t-ts and more music," she vowed.

Although the 37-year-old has remained positive throughout this difficult phase, she recently got candid about her struggles.

"Had my worst day so far yesterday since my diagnosis and the busiest 3 months I have had in years," she confessed in an emotional Instagram Stories post.

Jessie admitted to feeling "panic attacks, tears, big fears, anger" about balancing motherhood, career, and life alongside her illness. However, she was able to overcome the sad wave by snacking on a corn cob.
