Pop star Jessie J has revealed that she had "a minor stroke" when she was only 18-years-old and lost all hope of recovering from it.
The 26-year-old singer took to stage for performing in New
York, at Delete Bone Cancer Gala, and talked about the same, reported Ace Showbiz.
"I feel so lucky that I was given a second chance at life,
so every day when I am able to do this, you have no idea how amazing it feels that I'm so lucky to be onstage and singing and living my dream... I appreciate every day that I am able to live my dream," said Jessie.
The 26-year-old singer also explained that she wrote "Who You Are" after the health scare.
Jessie was not the only celebrity spotted at the gala. The
event was also attended by Coco Rocha, Doutzen Kroes, Kelly Bensimon, Dita Von Teese and Georgia May Jagger.
