An emotional Jessie J confided in her fans during an acoustic gig in which she spoke about her heartbreaking miscarriage.

On Wednesday, the 33-year-old singer took to Instagram to share the tragic news that she had lost her unborn baby.

In the post, Jessie - real name Jessica Ellen Cornish - revealed that she still planned on going ahead with her concert that night, writing: "What I do know is that I want to sing tonight. Not because Im avoiding the grief or the process, but because I know singing tonight will help me. I have done 2 shows in 2 years and my soul needs it. Even more today."

So, the 'Pricetag' singer went ahead with her scheduled acoustic concert at The Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles.

During the gig, the singer confessed to the audience that she had been through "the hardest year" of her life.

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."

Per the Metro, Jessie was informed back in 2019 that she would struggle to conceive a child, but has always been determined to become a mother.

In her emotional Instagram post, she wrote: "After going for my 3rd scan and being told there was no longer a heartbeat. This morning. I feel like I have no control of my emotions. I may regret posting this. I may not. I actually don't know."

She added: "To get pregnant was a miracle in itself and an experience I will never forget and I know I will have again. I'm still in shock, the sadness is overwhelming. But I know I am strong, and I know I will be ok.

She continued: "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."
