Jessie J has been compelled to postpone her upcoming UK tour by half a year due to the need for additional surgery.
The chart-topping artist, famed for hits such as Price Tag and Domino, was initially set to commence her UK and European tour in October.
The No Secrets tour was announced earlier this year, but Jessie later disclosed her diagnosis of early-stage breast cancer.

Jessie shared in April that she had been undergoing medical tests and would ‘disappear for a bit’ over the summer for surgery.
In an attempt to lighten the mood, she told her fans: “I will come back with massive tits and more music.”
It has now been disclosed that Jessie, aged 37, will require further surgery which coincides with the original tour dates.
This means the UK and Europe dates will be rescheduled for next year, while the US leg of the tour has been cancelled entirely.
“Unfortunately I have to have a second surgery,” Jessie informed her fans in a statement released today (August 28).
“It’s nothing too serious, but it has to be done by the end of this year. This falls in the middle of the tour I had booked.
“I’m so sorry, I feel frustrated and sad, but I need to be better, I need to be healed.”
The tour was originally scheduled to commence in Amsterdam on 8 October, with additional performances in Paris, Brussels, Glasgow, Leeds, Birmingham and London impacted.
The tour will now begin in Birmingham on 7 April, with the Manchester gig at Albert Hall, initially planned for 19 October, now rescheduled for 13 April, 2026.
Promoters have assured that all tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled dates, while those holding tickets for the US shows will receive a full refund. Anyone needing further help has been advised to contact their original point of purchase directly.
In a frank interview last week, Jessie confessed she feared she was ‘going to die’ after her initial cancer diagnosis.
Speaking on Jamie Laing’s Great Company podcast, she revealed: “I had moments where I thought, ‘this is going to go left and I’m going to die’.”
