Jessie J, the 37-year-old English singer-songwriter, was rushed to the hospital for an MRI scan after sustaining a head injury during her "No Secrets" tour in Hangzhou, China.

Jessie candidly shared her fears about her health, stating, “I had moments where I was like, ‘This is going to go left, and I'm going to die.’”

I’m alright, I’ll just have to take some painkillers and march right through it.” She emphasized her determination to continue performing despite her injuries. Jessie also mentioned, “My immune system needs a little bit more love, but I am resting guys, and I also am feeling better.”
