Singer Jessie J is stepping back from social media to prioritize her health and family following a difficult two years that included a cancer diagnosis and a cross-continental move. The artist plans to focus on her recovery, including a second surgery, and dedicated time with her son before returning to public life.

Singer Jessie J has announced a temporary hiatus from social media to focus on her personal life and recovery.
