Watch: Kate Middleton and Jessie J Have Emotional Moment After Bonding Over Cancer JourneysJessie J is sharing more about her difficult health journey. The "Price Tag" singer, 37, was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome-a congenital heart condition-as a child, and this past March, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. However, she's recently shared her scary health challenges don't end there. In fact, two decades ago, she experienced a stroke at just 17 years old. "I just got my first record deal, and I had a stroke," she told The Guardian in an interview published Nov. 29. "I was on the train, and my face dropped." She quickly visited her doctor, who told her she believed she had suffered a minor stroke and promptly called an ambulance. As Jessie shared, "I was in hospital for four to five weeks." And that wasn't all-three years later, an accident left her with an injury that kept her from being unable to sing. "Then when I was about to put out music in 2020," she added, "I had a car crash and my larynx moved up and I couldn't sing for a year." But as Jessie-who shared her breast cancer diagnosis in June-noted, her various health challenges over the years have given her the strength to fight. "I've clearly got an addiction to being diagnosed with things," she joked. "So maybe the cancer is part of that."readJessie J Hospitalized Weeks After Breast Cancer SurgeryThat strength started in her childhood, where she credits her parents for helping her to believe she could do anything despite her heart condition. "My mum and dad always did such a great job of not making that the definitive thing in my life and not making me define my character by my worst days," she reflected. "That was amazing and has carried through to now."

"Sharing in the past has helped me, with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories," Jessie said in an Instagram video June 3. "It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse." As she put it, "I'm an open book."For more stars who have opened up about their health, read on.

"It's OK," she told sister Bella Garcia at the time. "We're going to get it fixed one day. I told the doctor, I go, 'Newly divorced, so the minute the boots are hung up, I'm going to come back to you and we're going to make these girls look real good, because these girls are going to get some action in the future and that can't look like that.'"Jason LaVeris/WireImageLupita Nyong'o's Uterine FibroidsThe 12 Years a Slave star was diagnosed with uterine fibroids-non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus-in 2014, the same year she won an Oscar for performance in the movie. However, it wasn't until 2025 when she disclosed her diagnosis, writing on Instagram that she had been "suffering in silence" for more than a decade. "When we reach puberty, we're taught periods mean pain, and that pain is simply part of being a woman," she shared. "We're struggling alone with something that affects us most."
