Jessie J performed for the first time since undergoing surgery at Radio 2 In the Park in Chelmsford, England, on Saturday, September 6, 2025.
The 37-year-old singer made her stage comeback eleven weeks after having breast cancer surgery, which she disclosed to the public early in June.
In addition to wearing a gleaming white outfit, Jessie brought her two-year-old son, Sky, to the stage. In fact, he had never seen her on stage before.
Jessie talked about living her best life and her diagnosis during her set.
According to the Daily Mail, she stated, "Some of you may know, some of you may not know, but I had breast cancer surgery 11 weeks ago today." “And the last show I did, I had no idea what was gonna happen, and I’m still very much in the recovery process, but I’m definitely not ready for Babins.”
Jessie expressed gratitude and love for the audience
She told the crowd at the venue that she was extremely grateful to be there. She said they had no idea how thankful she was to see so many of them singing along after all those years and added that it truly felt as if she were still a little kid doing what she loved.
Jessie’s son’s first time watching her performing
The BRIT Award winner continued by revealing that her two-year-old son, Sky, was enjoying her performance from the sidelines. "Another special thing that's happening today is that my son is seeing me sing on stage for the first time," she stated.
"Hi Sky. Hi, my baby. Love you," she said to him.
Jessie also performed her song 'Living My Best Life,' which had been released two weeks after her diagnosis. She told the crowd that some might know the song and some might not but explained that it was written about her experience of being diagnosed shortly before its release. She recalled that many people suggested she put everything on hold, but she refused, stating that life was about facing challenges head-on, providing support, and moving forward. She added that music, at least for her, was a healer—the very thing that made her want to wake up in the morning and gave her excitement about life.
Just last week, Jessie revealed that she would need to have a second surgery before the year is complete, so she had to postpone the dates in Europe and cancel her US tour.
