Jessie J has spoken out about the "saddest and loneliest" time of her life during a recent acoustic show.
Per the Metro, the 'Domino' singer recently returned to England in order to perform her first show in the country of the year. The intimate acoustic set took place at the event venue Lafayette in London, and Jessie - real name Jessica Ellen Cornish - opted to speak out about her recent miscarriage.
"So I was pregnant but not anymore," she told the crowd.
Despite the heartbreaking loss, the 33-year-old singer was able to tell the audience: "I am probably in the happiest place I have ever been, believe it or not. My perspective on life has changed completely."
Recalling the day she found out about her miscarriage, she said: "The day it happened a man came up to me in the street.
"I was by myself and crying. He said, ‘I don’t know you and I don’t know what is happening with you right now but I know you should share it with other people’.
"That is why I do what I do. So to anyone who has been through that, or near someone who has, I am so sorry. There is no other way to explain it than just the saddest, loneliest thing.”
Highlighting the lack of conversation around the topic of miscarriage, Jessie told the audience: "No one talks about it enough. What we talk about isn’t what really happens.
"I am grateful I was raised by two incredible people who taught me to find the blessing in the pain. I am grateful for the perspective I have. Every day we just have to live and live harder."
The singer then praised her sister, who she says "dropped everything" in order to fly out to LA to be with her.
Jessie first announced to her fans the news of her loss in an Instagram post at the end of November.
In the now-deleted post, the singer wrote: "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 its best.
That evening, she performed an acoustic set at The Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles.
While sitting on a stool, she told the crowd: "I decided to have a baby by myself and by a miracle it worked for a little while. And yesterday... it was f***ing s***."
She added: "This year has been hands down the hardest year I've ever had to get through. You know - December last year I lost my hearing and got diagnosed with Meniere's [...] And then I lost my voice, which was f***ing awful, just because I didn't know who I was without singing.
"And now I've lost my baby... and I know I'm going to be OK - because there is really nothing else to choose in the way I live."
The singer continued: "But I wanted to be here tonight because the one thing that I believe in the most in this whole entire universe - beyond surface conversations and Instagram and the internet - is being human. And being vulnerable. And being real.
"And I've never felt more alone than I have in the past week. But I don't feel alone right now.
