Jessie J is canceling her upcoming U.S. tour dates as she recovers from breast cancer surgery.
The “Price Tag” singer also postponed shows in Europe from October 2025 to April 2026.
The musician hopes to return to the U.S. in 2026 but requires an additional surgery before the end of this year.
Jessie J is putting her upcoming tour on hold to focus on her health.
The “Price Tag” singer announced Thursday that she is canceling her U.S. tour dates and postponing upcoming concerts in Europe as she continues to recover from breast cancer treatment and prepares for another procedure.
“Unfortunately I have to have a second surgery — nothing too serious but it has to be done by the end of this year,” Jessie J said in a statement. “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.”
Tickets for the U.S. shows will automatically be refunded at the original point of purchase.
Jessie J discussed the decision in further detail in an Instagram video. “As some of you may know, I just had breast cancer surgery eight weeks ago,” she said. “I’m living in the moment, I’m embracing the moment, and I’m flying with the vibes. That is what it is.”
The “Domino” singer added that she still intends to tour in the U.S. in 2026, but hasn’t been able to finalize logistics at this point.
“I’m spending all my time trying to find time where we can get the venues to make sense again in a slab of time next year,” she said. “Please bear with us for the U.S. tour. It’s something that I want to do, but when the time is right. So it might be a little later in the year, it might even be a little earlier. I don’t know yet. You guys know how much I want to do all of it, but I just can’t, and I have to be realistic.”
Jessie J also announced that the European shows she previously planned to perform in October have already been rescheduled for April 2026. The affected cities include Amsterdam, Paris, Cologne, Brussels, Glasgow, Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester, and London.
She noted that while she has new music coming soon, the combination of her illness, recording, and performing proved to be too overwhelming to allow her tour to commence this year. “I’m trying to do my best,” Jessie J said. “I’m trying to compartmentalize all the different things that are happening in my life and where I have to give the energy. But I have to heal, so forgive me.”

The singer announced her diagnosis in June. “I was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer,” she said. “I’m highlighting the word ‘early.’ Cancer sucks in any form, but I’m holding on to the word ‘early.'”
