00:00Hi, I've been going back and forth a little bit on, should I share it?
00:04I want to, but there's lots of opinions outside and
00:06knowing that the media are going to make this way bigger than it needs to be,
00:11but also knowing that I want to share it with my fans and the people that care about me.
00:15And also I'm a sharer.
00:17I've always shared everything that I go through in my life.
00:20Before No Secrets came out, I was diagnosed with early breast cancer.
00:24I'm highlighting the word early.
00:26Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word early.
00:30I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period.
00:33I just wanted to be open and share it.
00:36One, because selfishly I do not talk about it enough.
00:39I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard.
00:42I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people,
00:47giving me their love and support and also their own stories.
00:50I'm an open book.
00:51It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse.
00:57That's the bit that kills me.
01:00I just want to let you guys know it wasn't something I'd planned.
01:06But yeah, I'm getting to keep my nipples.
01:09That's good.
01:10It's a weird topic and a weird situation.
01:13And I know that the press are going to say crazy stuff.
01:16But you know what?
01:17To get diagnosed with this as I'm putting out a song called No Secrets right before a song called Living My Best Life,
01:25which was all pre-planned before I found out about this.
01:28I mean, you can't make it up.
01:30It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job.
01:32I am going to disappear for a bit after summertime ball to have my surgery.
01:37And I will come back with massive tits and more music.
