Jessie J has suffered a miscarriage.

She shared on Instagram that having a baby is all she's ever wanted so she decided to get pregnant on her own.

But when she went for her third scan, there was no longer a heartbeat.

The sad news came only the day before Jessie's third concert in the space of two years.

On Instagram, she wrote "Yesterday morning I was laughing with a friend saying 'seriously though how am I going to get through my gig in LA tomorrow night without telling the whole audience I am pregnant.'

"By yesterday afternoon I was dreading the thought of getting through the gig without breaking down."

Is she cancelling the gig?

Even though she knew her audience would understand if she cancelled, Jessie said her "soul needs" to perform live now more than ever now.

For her, the gig isn't a way to avoid grieving as singing will help her emotionally.

"I know some people will be thinking 'she should just cancel it.' But in this moment I have clarity on one thing. I started singing when I was young for joy, to fill my soul and self love therapy, that hasn’t ever changed and I have to process this my way."

Why share the news?

Jessie's reason for sharing the news on Instagram before the gig was clear. She didn't want the audience to expect more from her than she would be able to give them.

She wrote, "I know myself and I know I would talk about it on stage because that’s who I am.

"So instead of a tearful emotional speech trying to explain my energy. This feels safer [sic].

"I want to be honest and true and not hide what I’m feeling. I deserve that. I want to be as myself as I can be in this moment. Not just for the audience but for myself and my little baby that did it’s best."

How is Jessie feeling?

Jessie has said she feels like she has "no control" of her emotions.

"I'm still in shock, the sadness is overwhelming. But I know I am strong, and I know I will be ok.

"I also know millions of women all over the world have felt this pain and way worse. I feel connected to those of you I know and those of you I don’t.

"It’s the loneliest feeling in the world.

"I decided to have a baby on my own. Because it’s all I’ve ever wanted and life is short.

"To get pregnant was a miracle in itself and an experience I will never forget and I know I will have again."
