Jessie J has been battling a secret illness for the past two years – with the mystery condition taking her out of the music industry for that time.

The chart topping star is about to make her music comeback – but has revealed a health scare left her unable to write anything since her 2015 track, Flashlight.

“In the two years that I did The Voice in Australia, I was diagnosed with some health issues that I’m not ready to talk about that I had to really face as a woman,” she told the Daily Star on Sunday.

“I also lost my grandparents and didn’t have time to grieve. The hardest part about being an artist is that you have to open your wounds to heal other people’s and you don’t often get the time to heal your own,” she explained.

When tomorrow comes
I'll be on my own
Feeling frightened up
The things that I don't know
When tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes

And though the road is long
I look up to the sky
In the dark I found, I stop and I won't fly
And I sing along, I sing along, then I sing along

I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night
Can't stop my heart when you shinin' in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night
Cause you're my flash light
You're my flash light, you're my flash light

I see the shadows long beneath the mountain top
I'm not the afraid when the rain won't stop
Cause you light the way
You light the way, you light the way

I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night
Can't stop my heart when you shinin' in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight

You're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night
Cause you're my flash light
You're my flash light, you're my flash light
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night
Can't stop my heart when you shinin' in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night
Cause you're my flash light
You're my flash light, you're my flash light

Jessie – who has been open in the past about a heart condition that she suffers from – added that she found it hard to get her mind into the right place so she could write music again.

“I needed to be with my real feelings. I wasn’t writing because I didn’t want to make music that escaped me from that,” she said - hinting her upcoming new album will delve into her struggles.
