Leaving no-one Outside Alone

ANASTACIA SENT CANCER HIT JESS LOVE

POP star Anastacia has revealed she reached out to Jessie J with “some good love” after her breast cancer diagnosis, having been diagnosed with the disease herself back in 2003.

The US singer, best known for songs such as Left Outside Alone, I'm Outta Love and Sick And Tired, said she often reaches out to fellow artists to offer help, adding she had “no idea” how younger artists were coping with the modern music industry.

Speaking about reaching out to the Price Tag singer, Anastacia who is coming to play Dublin next year said: "I reached out to Jessie J, and gave her some good love with what she's going through.

“Wherever I can be able to send positive energy, because the business is hard and life is hard.

"I don't think that there's a problem that you can't support another lady, I think that women have to support women in this world, and we have it hard enough that if we don't hold each other's backs, the guys aren't going to do it.

“So at this point ladies, stay friends and realise that they'll always be there for you when things go down.”

Jessie announced in June this year that she had been diagnosed with early breast cancer and that she would be undergoing treatment, and has since been forced to cancel her tour.
