Pre-order details
Special features hinted at by Jessie in her announcement
Fans can pre-order the album on vinyl and CD. In her announcement, Jessie hinted at some special features, saying, "There's some signed stuff and there's lots of things happening." This album marks a significant milestone for Jessie as it is her first major project since she was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year. The diagnosis led to her postponing UK and European dates for her Acoustic Tour and canceling American shows altogether.
Health update
Breast cancer diagnosis and its impact on Jessie's career
In June, Jessie revealed her breast cancer diagnosis on social media. The news came just before the release of her single No Secrets in April. She found out she had to undergo a second surgery, which led to the postponement of her tour dates. Despite these challenges, Jessie has remained positive and committed to her music career. The Price Tag singer recently returned to the stage at BBC Radio 2 In The Park festival in England on September 6.
Performance highlights
First live performance in 2 years
Jessie's performance at the In The Park festival was particularly special as it was the first time her two-year-old son Sky Safir saw her perform live. During her speech, she expressed gratitude for being able to perform again and thanked fans for their support over the years. "You have no idea how grateful I am to see so many of you singing along after all these years," she said.
