Jessie J has updated fans with heartbreaking news that she lives every day in pain.
The singer revealed she “can’t go a day” without being affected by her battle with Ménière’s disease.
The Bang Bang singer told followers she had been diagnosed with the condition last December.
Ménière’s disease affects the ear and can cause vertigo, with the star spending Christmas Eve in hospital.
The former Voice judge took to Instagram to say she was left sobbing for hours after noticing the disease ‘affecting her voice’.
The 33-year-old explained that she attempted to sing a song, but despite her desperate tries, she couldn’t.

In the post, she shared a video of her singing Purple Rain while performing in a singing competition in China.
She said: “And well… I sobbed. For hours. I let myself feel the broken part of me that sometimes I know I ignore when I shouldn’t. Like fell the floor TV show type s**t. 6 months in and I still cannot get through a full day without pain in my mid-neck / throat.

“Some days are so much better than others. Worst part is that it’s not my vocal chords.
“They are healthy and in there with their hands up like. Not us J, we got you. It’s something around them. Spine, thyroid, allergy. Who knows. The tests continue.”
The Money hitmaker said she felt good “95%” of the time and positive and strong, but the remaining time where she feels down “will grow” if she doesn’t address it.

She went on to say: “So yes, sometimes like yesterday. I break. All hope disappears. I feel so lost and so alone in what’s going on [sic].”
The star wanted to share the news to explain how she doesn’t always stay positive all the time and doesn’t “take pride in always pretending I’m ok”, adding “it’s not healthy” to pretend.

Paloma Faith wrote: “Even with that your voice is better than everyone else’s!”
JoJo simply said: “You are everything.”
One fan told her: “Thank you for sharing this with us! Send you lots of love! Everything is gonna be okay! We love you!”
