British pop star Jessie J has revealed she will undergo further surgery, all while still in the thick of recovery from surgery for breast cancer.

Since publicly announcing her diagnosis in June, the 37-year-old singer, whose real name is Jessica Ellen Cornish, has been open about her health journey, sharing both the highs and lows with her fans.

In her latest update posted on Friday, Cornish expressed her determination to keep doing what she loves — being a mother to her two-year-old son, Sky, and making music — despite needing another surgery this year.

“I can rest, parent AND release new music,” she shared on Instagram.

“I didn’t leave a major label after 18 years to be scared to rewrite the rules to fit around my life and health.

“I just have to make it realistic for what I can deliver in all roles in my life.”

Now seven weeks post-surgery, the singer acknowledged her recovery is still ongoing but her passion for music and life remains strong.

“I’m still in the thick of recovery and my body is still finding its way,” Cornish added.

“But I LOVE music and I LOVE my life and I want to LIVE in the moment.

“Instead of stopping and disappearing and waiting for the timing to be perfect to release music again.

“I am choosing to carry on.”

Her heartfelt message follows a difficult week — just days earlier, the hitmaker revealed on her Instagram stories that she had been hospitalised due to an infection.

Since announcing her early-stage breast cancer diagnosis on June 4, Cornish has been praised for her willingness to share personal details about her journey.

“I just wanted to be open and share it — one, because selfishly, I don’t talk about it enough. I’m not processing it because I’m working so hard,” the pop star explained at the time.

“I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me — with other people giving me their love and support, and also their own stories.

“I’m an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much — similar, and worse.”

On June 24, Cornish posted an emotional carousel of photos following the breast cancer surgery, including pictures of her partner, Chanan Colman, and their son, Sky.

“!! Blood warning !! This post is some of the honest lows and highs of the last 48 hours,” she bravely posted.

“I will always show the good and hard bits of any journey I go through.

“Grateful to my doctor/surgeon, the nurses who cared for me, and all my family and friends who visited.

“I am home now, to rest and wait for my results.

“Chanan is in a nurse outfit. No no, he isn’t, but funny to imagine.

“Still hugging everyone going through something tough right now. We all got this!”

In a recent interview, Cornish recalled breaking down in tears while looking at her post-surgery scars and described a moment shared with her mother.

“The other night, Mum was massaging my boob for me, because I can’t touch the scars,” she told The Sunday Times.

“And I started sobbing, ‘I can’t believe this has happened.’ She was like, ‘I wish it was me,’ and then I’m crying, she’s crying… I’m so glad it’s not her.”

Despite her health setbacks, Cornish isn’t letting anything slow her down.

In her most recent health update, the pop star also teased the release of new music on August 29.
