Jessie J worried she’d “broken my neck” after striking her head on a car roof while on her No Secrets tour in China.
The “Domino” singer detailed her medical emergency in an Instagram video posted over the weekend. The collection of clips began with a video of Jessie walking toward a black minivan as she told her team that she didn’t “mind squashing in the back.”
The footage then immediately cut to the 37-year-old in a Hongzhou hospital undergoing a brain scan. “Hit my head,” Jessie captioned her post. “I should of minded squashing in the back.” She didn't provide details about what caused the impact.

Ever the professional, Jessie could be seen onstage in a subsequent clip running through rehearsals for her concert. However, the pop star acknowledged that she was still in a lot of pain after the injury.
“I just can’t move my head,” she explained. “I’m alright. I’ll just have to take some painkillers and march right through it.”
Jessie added, “I thought I’d broken my neck but I haven’t. But I have really hurt my neck and my back.”

The “Price Tag” songstress also incorporated footage of her preparing for the show backstage with her son Sky, whom she shares with partner Chanan Colman, and singing and dancing onstage.
After sharing her post, Jessie’s comments section was flooded with well wishes from fans across the globe. “Ouch,” one fan wrote. “but what a show!”

Another added, “So sorry to hear that, Jess. Hope you feel better soon. Sending you lots of hugs.”
And a third chimed in, “and yet nobody noticed until you told us you hurt yourself!! POPSTARRRR mode was activated.”
Jessie J has been open about her health over the years. Last June, she announced that she’d been diagnosed with “early stage” breast cancer.
"I just wanted to be open and share it," Jessie J said at the time. "One, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. I'm not processing it, because I'm working so hard. I also know how much sharing has helped me in the past with other people giving me their love and support and all their own stories."
At the time, Jessie J explained that she’d be stepping away to undergo surgery and promised to return "with massive tits and more music.”
Two months later, she announced that she had to cancel her U.S. and European tour dates in order to have a second procedure as part of her recovery. While she was able to reschedule the Europe dates for April 2026, she noted that she was still trying to find American dates that worked.
"I'm trying to do my best," Jessie J shared at the time. "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."
