Singer Jessie J has said her health troubles “always kept me balanced” ahead of the launch of her first album in seven years.

The Price Tag singer, 37, has battled with ill health throughout her life, having been diagnosed with a heart condition aged eight, suffering a minor stroke aged 18 and having briefly gone deaf in 2020.

Speaking at Advertising Week Europe 2025 in central London on Wednesday, Jessie, whose full name is Jessica Cornish, said: “I’m grateful that my health has always kept me balanced, like it’s brought me back down to earth, like from the young age even to now, things happen to me with my health.

“All these things I feel like just were keeping my feet on the ground and it made me who I am.

She reflected on her time away from releasing music and her experience of grief in recent years, as well as her forthcoming album, which is set to be released this year.
