Jessie J Hospitalised After Bizarre Car Incident Down Under
Renowned pop sensation Jessie J has found herself in a rather unfortunate and painful situation, requiring a hospital visit after a rather clumsy accident in China. The 37-year-old artist, whose real name is Jessica Ellen Cornish, was on her ongoing “No Secrets Tour” when the incident occurred. While travelling in the back of a van in Hangzhou, she managed to hit her head with considerable force on the car’s roof, leading her to believe she had suffered a broken neck.
The singer, who has been bravely battling breast cancer, shared a candid video on her social media detailing the sequence of events. The clip begins with Jessie J appearing to be “squashing” herself into the back of a black van. This light-hearted start quickly takes a serious turn as the video transitions to show the artist undergoing an MRI scan in a hospital setting.
“Yeah, I just can’t move my head,” Jessie J was heard telling her crew during rehearsals, her voice laced with discomfort. “I’m alright, I’ll just have to take some painkillers and march right through it. I just wanna kinda run down the show.” She further elaborated on her initial fears, stating, “I thought I broke my neck, but I haven’t. But I have really hurt my neck and my back. Don’t say it,” she added, a touch of humour in her voice despite the pain. The video then continues to offer glimpses into the backstage experience, highlighting her dedication to her performances.
In a humorous yet telling caption accompanying the video, Jessie J quipped, “Hit my head 😂😩🥴, I should [have] minded squashing in the back.” Her loyal fanbase was quick to flood the comments section with messages of support and concern.
Fan Reactions and Well Wishes
Fans expressed a mix of shock and affection for the singer:
- “Bloody hell Jess, you’re a liability [aren’t] you babe! Hope your neck and back are feeling better, rest up where you can.”
- One fan who attended her concert shared, “and yet nobody noticed until you told us you hurt yourself!! POPSTARRRR mode was activated.” This comment highlighted Jessie J’s professionalism and ability to perform despite her injury.
- “Feel better soon girl,” another supporter wished. “You are such a vibe even if you are in pain, such an awesome human being.”
A Broader Health Journey
This recent mishap adds another layer to Jessie J’s ongoing health journey. The singer has been remarkably open about her battle with breast cancer, having revealed her diagnosis of early-stage breast cancer in June of last year. She has consistently used her social media platforms to document her treatment, sharing the emotional and physical highs and lows of her path towards recovery.
Her candidness has resonated deeply with many, offering a sense of solidarity and hope to others facing similar challenges. Jessie J has not shied away from detailing the medical procedures she has undergone, including a mastectomy following her diagnosis. She also previously experienced a hospital stay due to a suspected blood clot in her lungs, further underscoring the resilience she has shown.
In a conversation with The Times, Jessie J provided further insights into the mastectomy procedure. She explained that while she was able to retain her nipple, the area remains numb. Describing the aesthetic outcome, she noted, “And when I bend down it looks like I’ve got a plastic carrier bag in my boob because you can see the wrinkles.”
Despite the initial success of the first surgery, Jessie J is preparing for a second procedure. This upcoming surgery will focus on breast reconstruction and further treatment, indicating her commitment to a comprehensive recovery. Her openness about these experiences not only informs her fans but also contributes to a broader conversation about health, resilience, and the realities of medical treatment.
